REMARKS
Radula grandilobula
is close to the widespread Indopacific
R. acuminata
(
Zhu & So 2001
)
; differs in having triangularovate leaf lobes, frequently recurved free margin of leaf lobules,
the leaf lobule apices pointing towards the leaf lobe apices or directed away from the stem, and the finely segmented oil bodies, 2-4 per cell (
Promma & Chantanaorrapint 2015
).
Radula grandilobula
was first described in
Nakhon Si Thammarat
, southern
Thailand
(
Promma & Chantanaorrapint 2015
), and its occurrence in northern
Malaysia
was therefore expected. New to Peninsular
Malaysia
(
Terengganu
). The species has exclusively been found on living leaves.
