Romnalda

Romnalda is a genus of monocotyledonous plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Lomandroideae.

As of December 2013[update] four formally named species are known and accepted by botanical science.

[1][3][4] The name Romnalda is an anagram of Lomandra, a related though more common genus of hard–leaved lily-like plants.

The genus Romnalda differs from Lomandra in growing exclusively in rainforests and having sparsely branched inflorescences with no spines.

Plants have strap-like leaves and grow up to one metre (3 feet) tall often with a trunk and stilt roots reminiscent of a miniature Pandanus.
