Most local Lomandra have white margins ??
Location needs tweaking.

I didn't think the other local Lomandra had white margins. Happy to leave this as a sp. I have also adjusted the location.

the significance of white margins was new to me, so I checked descriptions in Plant net. There may be species differences but not known to me. Leaf tip sounds good for bracteata.
