While I can find nothing definitive for this species, most other galls in the genus Acalypha appear to be caused by midges.

Description: Acalypha californica—California copperleaf. An euphorb found in San Diego County and Baja California, including islands on both sides of the peninsula. The staminate Inflorescence visible in my other photos of copperleaf is the long reddish tube that can be from 1.5 to 4 cm long. The leaves are always green despite the common name of copperleaf. An interesting feature of the leaves is the moisture exuded at the margin of the leaves [I have been informed that the phenomenon is known as guttation. 7/11/2016].
