Pterostylis planulata, commonly known as the flat rustyhood, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Victoria. It has a rosette of leaves at its base and up to seven translucent flowers with green stripes. The flowers have a thin, dark green, insect-like labellum.

Description

Pterostylis planulata, is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber. It has a rosette of between five and eight leaves at the base of the flowering spike, each leaf {{convert|18-300|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The leaves are often withered by the time of flowering. Up to seven translucent flowers with green stripes and {{convert|30-35|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|9-11|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide are borne on a flowering spike {{convert|100-200|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. Three or four stem leaves are wrapped around the flowering spike. The dorsal sepal and petals are joined to form a hood called the "galea" over the column with the dorsal sepal having a thread-like tip {{convert|20-30|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The lateral sepals are slightly wider than the galea, densely hairy on their outer edges and suddenly taper to a thread-like tip, {{convert|20-35|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}. The tips of the lateral sepals are more or less parallel to each other and about {{convert|10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} apart. The labellum is thin, green and insect-like, about {{convert|6-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The "head" end has two long bristles and there are 18 to 24 shorter bristles on the side. Flowering occurs from October to November.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Pterostylis planulata was first formally described in 1983 by David Jones & Mark Clements and the description was published in Muelleria. The type specimen was collected in the northern end of the Grampians National Park.[4][1] The specific epithet (planulata) is derived from the Latin word planus meaning "level" or "flat"[5] referring to the almost flat, sometimes shallowly dished, lateral sepals.[1]

Distribution and habitat

The flat rustyhood is only known from the northern part of the Grampians National Park where it grows in shallow soil on rock ledges.[2][3]
