A large number of tiny, greenish white flowers are arranged along a thin flowering stem. It is endemic to Christmas Island.

A large number of greenish white non-resupinate flowers {{convert|1-1.5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and wide are arranged along a thin flowering stem {{convert|40-80|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long. The sepals and petals are about {{convert|0.8|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and do not spread widely. The labellum is about {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and wide. Flowering occurs between September and October.[2]Taxonomy and namingPhreatia listeri was first formally described in 1890 by Robert Allen Rolfe who published the description in the Journal of the Linnean Society, Botany.[3][4] The specific epithet (listeri) honours Joseph Jackson Lister who, with John Maclear and the officers of H.M.S.
