Abstract

Lomandra scabrifolia Jian Wang ter & B.Gray, sp. nov. and Lomandra tenuis Jian Wang ter & B.Gray, sp. nov. from north Queensland, Australia are described, illustrated and compared to the morphologically and phylogenetically closely related species. Notes are provided on their distributions including a map, habitat, phenology and affinities. Their conservation status is also assessed.
