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.

This is good advice, although I am not sure where the compound microscope
comes in

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.

Careful, such sites tend to have been compiled in haste and are meant as an
indication only, not as a source. Since there was a publication in the Bot.
Journ. Linn. Soc. of last year (and before that too) it may be easier to
browse through the list of references there?
