What is the red dot on the leaf?
This is a gall, not a nectary.

Gall tumor is an abnormal tumor or process in which plant tissues grow after being stimulated by insects and other organisms to feed or lay eggs. They are the "house" where parasitic creatures live. A kind of gall refers to the part where insects lay eggs and parasitize on plants, resulting in abnormal development.
