On having a closer look at this I am certain the leaf is distorted around these nodules so I am pretty sure it is a leaf gall of some kind... maybe caused by a wasp or midge.
Argy Bee: most of the leaves were like this.
Then probably not galls or you would probably notice deformation of leaf.
Hi Argy bee: No i do not have any shot of the back side. but no distinctive feature at the back of the leaf.
Hi Ruby. Got any shots of the back side ?
