Description of Botanical Coloring Page: The Gall Oak (Quercus infectoria) is found on the hills and mountains in the north of Palestine. It is a small tree, well known for the galls it bears. These are produced by a small fly (cynips), which lays its eggs in the bark of the tender branches. The galls were largely used in the manufacture of ink in ancient times. The second word el, translated "oak" refers, when it means a tree (as in Isaiah 1:29), to the teil tree [q.v.].
