Romnalda is a genus of monocotyledonous plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Lomandroideae.[2] (They have also been placed in the Xanthorrhoeaceae.) 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. Species of Romnalda grow naturally in Queensland and Papua New Guinea.
