This paper enumerates the galls in different tree species in India along with their causative organisms. It is established that the organisms causing galls among trees in the area are from the following orders: Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, and Thysanoptera. The tree species affected by galls include <i>Mangifera indica</i>, eucalyptus, <i>Pongamia pinnata, Tectona grandis, Dalbergia sissoo, Acacia</i> spp, <i>Syzygium cumini, Phyllanthus emblica, Terminalia tomentosa, Emblica officinalis [P. emblica]</i>, and willow species, etc. It is suggested that an in-depth knowledge of process of gall producing species is the key for protecting plantation forests from devastating outbreaks of gall inducers.
