John,
I'm just now seeing this. To think I've been pulling pellitory and not even looking! (But, she says, it doesn't have a showy flower.)

Where does pellitory grow at your place?

I thought I remembered
I thought I remembered that you'd posted pellitory gall photos on BG. Thanks for the link.
At my current place of residence, and at the place I lived where I took those leafminer pictures, I most often have come across pellitory when it's growing along exterior walls of buildings. Somewhere I read it's also called "wall plant" because of that habit.
