Description
It is a perennial plant, endemic to New South Wales. The greyish green, finely ribbed leaves are terete, and 15–45 cm long, and generally 1–1.5 mm wide. The male inflorescence has either one or two branches and the flower clusters are whorled, with the flowers on 1-4mm long pedicels. The female inflorescence is similar but unbranched and having sessile flowers. This species is similar to Lomandra beaniana but the male inflorescence of L. beaniana has long branchlets. It differs from Lomandra multiflora by its terete, glaucous leaves and its erect rhizomes, and it differs from Lomandra decomposita by its terete leaves, and from L. ramosissima by its terete leaves and white to cream leaf sheaths.
Range & habitat
It has been found from the Capertee Valley to Tamworth and the Barrington Tops, growing generally in woodlands.
