What about this:
> testdata <- cbind.data.frame(value = runif(100), L1 = rep(1:10, each=10))
> head(testdata)
value L1
1 0.3370902 1
2 0.6766098 1
3 0.2433171 1
4 0.8848674 1
5 0.5253600 1
6 0.4067238 1
> tail(testdata)
value L1
95 0.8149121 10
96 0.5186669 10
97 0.1080695 10
98 0.6099110 10
99 0.6141373 10
100 0.3407369 10
> boxplot(testdata$value ~ testdata$L1)
