When was the word galls first coined. Anyone know?

The mysterious origin of strange growths on the stems, leaves, flowers and
roots of plants have intrigued naturalists for centuries. Called galls or
hypertrophies, these tumorous (neoplasmic) outgrowths develop from rapid
mitosis and morphogenesis of plant tissues and come in an astounding array
of colors, shapes and sizes. Galls may be smooth, spiny or fuzzy, and
resemble everything from marbles and ping-pong balls to dunce caps, saucers
and sea urchins.
