Pterostylis aestiva, also known as the long-tongued summer greenhood, is a type of orchid found only in south-eastern Australia. It has distinct characteristics, with non-flowering plants having a rosette of leaves on the ground and flowering plants having a single flower on a spike with leaves. The flowers are dark bluish-green, white, and brown, and bloom from January to April. This species was first described in 1972 and its name comes from the Latin word for "pertaining to summer". It is found in high rainfall forests in Victoria and New South Wales and can be easily grown in pots as long as it is kept moist during the growing season and dry when dormant.
