Leafy gall on goldenrod

This is a most un-gall-like growth. It occurs on the tops of goldenrods and looks like a whorled cluster of green leaves. Generally, these types of galls are made by the minute Cecidomyid fly. You should find many of these growths wherever Canada and tall goldenrods occur, as they seem to be especially prone to this. It doesn't harm the plant.
