Plant galls are generated by the stimuli of gall-inducing organisms on their hosts, creating gall morphotypes that vary in color, shape, size, and tissue organization. Herein, we propose to compare the structural features of gall morphotypes on the superhost Croton floribundus (Euphorbiaceae) in order to recognize gall morphospecies, i.e., galls with similar shapes but different internal structures. Non-galled leaves and galls were analyzed macroscopically, histologically, and histochemically for the detection of primary metabolites, and the results obtained were used for statistical analyses of similarity. Among the eight gall morphospecies, four are globoid, two are lenticular, one is fusiform and one is marginal leaf rolling. Stomatal differentiation and the occurrence of different types of trichomes were impaired in some gall morphospecies. Three patterns of organization of the ground system are recognized, ranging from the maintenance of mesophyll cells that differentiate into palisade and spongy cells dorsiventrally to the formation of a complex cortex with three morphofunctional layers. The marginal leaf rolling galls have the simplest anatomical structures, quite similar to those of the non-galled host leaf, while lenticular, globoid (types I to IV), and fusiform galls are anatomically more complex. Herein, we report on eight gall morphospecies occurring on C. floribundus, which are distinguished by morpho-anatomical attributes and show the disruption of the morphogenetic patterns of the host leaf toward the morphogenesis of unique gall features.
