    Definitely looks like galls! If you can get an ID on that plant, we could probably narrow it down! Posted 6 years ago

      Thanks! Well, getting an ID on a jungle plant with ordinary green leafs is probably outside my skillset, but it's a good point that I should have taken more angles from the plant. Posted 6 years ago

        You might wanna try the Plant ID forums on Facebook. Someone may be able to get you within genus-level. Posted 6 years ago
