| This terrestrial orchid grows in moist areas in the open forests around Brisbane. The rosette has up to 6 stalked leaves to about
40mm by 15mm. The flower stem grows to 30cm tall with a translucent
flower with green and white stripes
and fawn towards the tip. It nods forward strongly distinguishing
this orchid from most other Pterostylis.
This species can be identified by its green and white nodding flowers. It is similar to
Pterostylis nutans,
but can be separated by its lateral sepals not crossing the galea and its
galea apex broad from the front when compared to Pterostylis
nutans.
