#1537 - Apiomorpha helmsii -Fluted Eucalyptus Gall
From the Dryandra Woodlands.
Identified as Apiomorpha helmsii on Bowerbird by Lyn Cook, an expert of Apiomorpha galls. The female galls are much larger, and spindle-shaped, but are also strongly fluted.

#557 - Apiomorpha maliformis - Apple-shaped Apiomorpha Gall

Another Apiomorpha, helpfully identified for me by Australia's leading gall expert Dr Penny Gullan. You can certainly see why the genus is famous for the size and variety of the galls they form.
This particular species, which certainly produces apple-shaped but rather woody galls of certain blackbutt eucalypts, was found by me on a rural block in Aubin Grove.
