Kataplasmatic
In cecidology (the study of plant galls), the term describes a particular tissue modification caused by organisms such as insects, bacteria or fungi. Kataplasmatic galls do not have constant shape or size. Almost all mycocecidia are kataplasmatic, as are galls caused by bacteria, algae and many hemipterans. The size of the resulting gall may vary considerably.
