Lomandra obliqua, known as fish bones and twisted mat-rush, is a small wiry ground-covering flowering plant found in eastern Australia (in Queensland and New South Wales). It is a widespread plant seen on the coast and tablelands. The foliage superficially resembles a fern, but creamy/yellow flowers form on clusters in spring. Leaves are two-ranked, somewhat glaucous and twisted.
The habitat is heathland on sandstone soils, open forest or eucalyptus woodland.
