Gall \Gall\ (g[add]l), n. [F. galle, noix de galle, fr. L.
galla.] (Zool.)
An excrescence of any form produced on any part of a plant by
insects or their larvae. They are most commonly caused by

their eggs in the wounds. The larvae live within the galls.
Some galls are due to aphids, mites, etc. See {Gallnut}.

tannin, and are used in the manufacture of that article
and for making ink and a black dye, as well as in
medicine.
