•The ordinary developmental anatomy deviates differently toward the four Lopesia galls.•Trichome types vary in size, number of cells, and distribution among the galls.•The nutritive tissue has mixed tissue origin only in the globoid gall.•The gall common traits relate to the induction site and to th...
