Radula pulchella

Pale glaucous green, olive-green or brownish green mats, dioicous. Specialised asexual propagules absent. Leaves ovate-falcate, 450–960 μm long, 240–580 μm wide, cuspidate to acuminate, contiguous to imbricate, inserted up to dorsal mid-line leaving no continuous row of cells uninterrupted by leaf insertions, extending over dorsal side of stem, often exceeding the opposite side of stem, attached to lobule by a straight, bulging or scalloped keel; lobe margins entire, repand or rarely with 1–2 small triangular teeth near apex, descending below the level of the keel and forming a distinct notch at intersection; lobule narrowly rhomboid, 1/6–1/5 of lobe area, 275–625 μm long, 100–300 μm wide, with an acute to cuspidate apex, extending over ventral stem surface to c. the mid-line; leaf vitta cells forming a mid-line along leaf lobe, in up to 5 rows at leaf base, narrowing to 1–2 rows toward apex, extending 0.75–0.85 of the length of the leaf lobe, oblong, 15–40 μm long, 12–18 μm wide, thin-walled, with distinct triangular trigones, smooth; leaf lobe cells other than vitta cells rounded-quadrate to rounded-polygonal or oblong, 8–24 μm long, 7–12 μm wide, evenly thick-walled, with a single low dome-shaped papilla, most prominent on the keel, with 3–4 oil bodies; oil bodies granular, light brown, homogeneous internally. Perianth 2000–2700 μm long, 730–790 μm wide, entire to denticulate at mouth.
