The genus Lomandra (Asparagaceae: Lomandroideae) is taxonomically revised for New Guinea with two species recognised, L. banksii and L. decomposita. Both also occur in northeast Queensland, Australia, and the former is also recorded in New Caledonia. Lectotypification of the basionym Xerotes banksii R.Br., now L. banksii, is designated. Notes are provided for both species. An updated identification key for the New Guinean Lomandra species is also presented.
