Lomandra obliqua, known as fish bones and twisted mat-rush, is a small wiry ground covering plant found in eastern Australia. 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. The specific epithet obliqua refers to the asymmetrical leaves.
