I just want to second Aaron's comment and thank you both for a wonderfully informative discussion.

Yeah, yet of course i'm talking about more of Au than merely Canberra region and the NSW southern tablelands region .

Hi Jason, i believe the tepals are divided at the base, it is tricky to see but there are a few good instances of this in the photos. I think what is catching us up is this plant having young inflorescence such that the majority of flowers are still developing. To be honest with you I am confident with our treatment of Lomandra on Canberra Nature Map. I don't see that there is a need for review in this area at the moment using the publicly accessible treatments. The genus is well known across the tablelands with a pretty comprehensive array of local material in herbaria. Very happy to incorporate newly described taxa and/or undescribed taxa with phrase names where they become relevant to our region. We can do this case by case as necessary.

@AaronClausen NatureMapr community, we, may like to do a project to more carefully and extensively photograph botanical diagnostic features, including when necessary some macro photographs' close-ups of flowers,
of many Lomandra individual plants and many taxa ...,
in support of the awesome work by Jian Wang and co. (?) .

Ciaran @Tapirlord Yes, so in the second and third photographs we can roughly see the inferred female flowers.

Looking not entirely clear (no fault of the fine photographs of the photographer) whether their tepals are really divided to base or fused in the lower half.
I can make out some visual suggestion evidence of divided to base and some visual suggestion of fusing right at the base.
Along with these very short inflorescences nestled in the leaves' bases, albeit fitting in other aspects with the broad sense (at least) of species *Lomandra multiflora*.
The infructescence (fruiting structure) rachis will grow out longer in growing fruits .
In the context (again), of many overlooked *Lomandra* undescribed taxa across this continent .
