Pterostylis macilenta is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to the Grampians National Park in Victoria. As with similar greenhoods, the flowering plants differ from those which are not flowering. The non-flowering plants have a rosette of leaves flat on the ground but the flowering plants have up to six translucent, dark green flowers and lack a rosette.

Description

Pterostylis macilenta, is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber. Non-flowering plants have a rosette of between three and six, egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves, each leaf {{convert|10-35|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Flowering plants lack a rosette but have up to six flowers on a flowering spike {{convert|150-350|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} high with five or six linear to narrow lance-shaped stem leaves which are {{convert|25-80|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The flowers are {{convert|16-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and the dorsal sepal and petals are joined to form a hood called the "galea" over the column. The galea is translucent dark green with darker green stripes. The lateral sepals turn downwards and are {{convert|10-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|7-9|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide and joined for more than half their length. The labellum is {{convert|5-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and yellowish to brown with a dark stripe along its mid-line. Flowering occurs from September to December.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

This greenhood was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones and given the name Bunochilus macilentus. The description was published in Australian Orchid Research from a specimen collected on Mount William in the Grampians National Park.[3] In 2007, Gary Backhouse changed the name to Pterostylis macilenta.[4] The specific epithet (macilenta) is derived from a Latin word meaning "lean", "thin" or "poor",[5] referring to the narrow labellum.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Pterostylis macilenta is only known from the Grampians National Park where it grows with shrubs in moist forest.[1]
