Trying to find information on Buxus ballearica leaf anatomy. Any ideas???

Sure, try sectioning some leaves with a razor blade, and look at
the sections with a compound microscope. Dried leaves [from herbarium
specimens] can be soaked in water with some dilute detergent or other
wetting agent, and then can often be sectioned satisfactorily.

[Do you suspect B. balearica will differ significantly from
the probably more available Buxus sempervirens?]

http://biodiversity.uno.edu/delta/an...w/buxaceae.htm
or
http://www.anbg.gov.au/angio/buxaceae.htm
say:

"Leaf anatomy. Lamina dorsiventral. Minor leaf veins
without phloem transfer cells (Buxus)."

http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/...buxalesweb.htm
http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/...b.htm#Buxaceae
says a little about leaves.

The same search also found:

http://www.personal.psu.edu/staff/d/l/dlr17/RPP.pdf

and

http://homepage.uni-tuebingen.de/ani...nnBot-2001.pdf

which must mention Buxus leaves at some point.

http://www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg....report_en.html
says something about the micro-structure of Buxus leaf waxes,
[I think]

http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/e05/r07.htm
illustrates a Buxus sempervirens stomate:

"Stomate at the leaf undersurface of a boxtree (Buxus sempervirens).
The boxtree has no special ecological preference but it is the best
micromorphological example of embossed stomates."
