The gall pemphigus bursarius is seen in the backround on the leaf petiole and with the leaf petioles flattened it is undoubtably Populus tremula (Aspen) |

In 'British Plant Galls' by Redfern & Shirley it says that it occurs on Populus nigra or its hybrids. It doesn't mention P. tremula as a host. | | | |
