Pterostylis abrupta, commonly known as the tablelands greenhood, is a species of orchid endemic to New South Wales. It is distinguished from similar greenhood orchids by its thick, flat, platform-like sinus and blunt labellum which is only just visible above the sinus.

Description

Pterostylis abrupta is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a rosette of dark green, crinkled leaves, each leaf {{convert|10-25|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|10-15|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide. A single flower {{convert|23-27|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|12-15|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide is borne on a stalk {{convert|150-450|mm|in|sigfig=1}} high. The flowers are dark green, white and brown. The dorsal sepal curves forward with a thread-like tip {{convert|10-18|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and with the petals forms a hood or "galea". The lateral sepals have a thread-like tip {{convert|30-40|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and there is a protruding, platform like sinus between their bases. The labellum is {{convert|13-15|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, brown, blunt and just visible behind the sinus. Flowering occurs from December to April.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Pterostylis abrupta was first formally described in 1985 by David Jones and the description was published in The Orchadian.[3] The specific epithet (abrupta) is a Latin word meaning "precipitous" or "steep".[4]

Distribution and habitat

The tablelands greenhood grows on ridges and slopes among rocks and grass in rich soil on the higher parts of the ranges and tablelands of New South Wales north from Barrington Tops.[1][2]

Use in horticulture

This greenhood is easily grows in pots although plants must be kept moist during the growing season and dry when dormant.[5]
