Leaf tips are two-pronged, making this L. longifolia.
L. multiflora has an entire rounded tip:

The growth form is not L.longifolia, other species have toothed tips.

Yes, thats true about the left tip, and I agree about the habit.
Looking at the second photo blown up, there are a few leaf tips mid-centre-right that appear to be deeply notched (like longifolia, and not like other Lomandra): I assumed these were young plants.
What species do you suggest ?

I would have said L. glauca. The photo is not clear enough really to see leaf tips.
