As in the title, what is the proper name/term for this kind of growth?

I'm wanting to replicate this kind of thing in a carving coming up soon and would like to expand my visual search online.

 

Thank you in advance folks,

Callus is undifferentiated, "scar" tissue, like stem cells. When it dfferentiates/lignifies it is called woundwood, as sloth mentioned. This was shigo's terminology and remains in ISA glossary (free online) and also the US Standard.

 

I call it "donut" when there is a big ring; too often unclosed. :(
