| Tasmania
has two species of Lomandra. These are both common
sedge-like species of dry, open forests and grassy areas.
They are characterised by tufts of flat leaves and
inflorescences on erect stalks, with numerous spines among
the flowers. Lomandra
longifolia is one of the most abundant species
in grasslands and grassy woodlands in Tasmania, and grows to
about 1m tall. It is readily recognised by its leaf tips,
which are once or twice notched (and usually dry and dead).
The other species (L. nana)
is much smaller. |
