Lomandra montana (common name - Blue Mountains mat-rush)[2] is a perennial, rhizomatous herb found in eastern Australia.[2][3]
Description
[edit]This is a tufted plant with leaves from 35 - 50 cm long and 2-4 mm wide. The male and female inflorescences are unbranched and much shorter than the leaves, and the flower clusters occur in whorls[4]
Distribution
[edit]It is found near creeks and waterfalls.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]Lomandra montana was first described in 1810 by Robert Brown as Xerotes montana.[5][6] In 1937 it was transferred to the genus, Lomandra, by Lilian Ross Fraser and Joyce Winifred Vickery, to give the current name.[5][7] It was also renamed as the variety Xerotes longifolia var montana by Frederick Manson Bailey in 1912, but this name is considered to be a synonym only.[1][8]
