Radula bolanderi differs from other members of this genus by virtue of the very large
single oil body that takes up nearly the entire space within the cell. There are underleaves
that are cleft for about 50% of their length.
Many thanks to the University of Colorado Herbarium (COLO), Erin Tripp & Dina Clark for permitting us
to photograph this specimen.
