But they usually occur in the axils of nerves on the lower surface of the leaf. You may examine the undersurface of badam (Terminalia catappa) leaf for e.g., to see the hairy structures (called 'domatia'). However, the spots pointed by Surajit ji do not seem to be the extrafloral nectories. They may be (bacterial?) infections? Thanks Surajit ji, for the clear pictures of glands. They seem to vary in number and position in this species too.

I should confess that I have no idea about the origin of the bulges on the leaf they can be caused by leaf anomaly or may be due to insect infestation. I have seen insects at there larval stage(?) take shelter inside leaves. I came to know about this by accident. Once I saw bunch of "mole" like structures on the mango leaf initially I thought them to be fungal infection later on making section I found insects within them!
