Commelina lanceolata is a plant in the family Commelinaceae native to Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales in Australia.[2][3]

It is a scrambling perennial herb first described by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown in 1810, who published his description in his work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.[4]

It is common on floodplains, growing when floodwaters have receded, and along watercourses, sometimes being found in shallow water.[5]
