Pterostylis anatona, commonly known as the Eungella greenhood, is a species of orchid endemic to Queensland. It has a rosette of wrinkled leaves at the base of the plant and a single light green and white flower, reddish towards its tip. It grows in higher areas between Eungella and the Blackdown Tableland National Park.

Description

Pterostylis anatona is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a rosette of dark green, wrinkled leaves {{convert|15-45|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|9-18|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. A single light green and white flower {{convert|37-44|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|15-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a reddish-brown tip is borne on a spike {{convert|60-180|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} high. The dorsal sepal and petals are fused, forming a hood or "galea" over the column. The dorsal sepal is slightly shorter than the petals. There is a wide gap between the galea and the lateral sepals. The lateral sepals are erect and have narrow tips {{convert|20-25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and a bulging V-shaped sinus between them. The labellum is {{convert|18-22|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, reddish-brown and curved and protrudes above the sinus. Flowering occurs from June to August.[1]

Taxonomy and naming

Pterostylis anatona was first formally described in 1997 by David Jones and the description was published in The Orchadian from a specimen collected near Eungella.[2] The specific epithet (anatona) is a Latin word meaning "stretching or extending upward".[3]

Distribution and habitat

The Eungella greenhood grows in forest with a grassy understorey above {{convert|800|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} between Eungella and the Blackdown Tableland.[1]
