Pterostylis cucullata, also known as the leafy greenhood, is a plant in the orchid family that is native to south-eastern Australia. It has fleshy leaves at its base and a single white, green and reddish-brown flower. The plant is a perennial herb with an underground tuber and can grow up to 250mm in height. It was first described in 1810 and is named after its hood-like flower. There are two subspecies, which differ in the height of the flowering stem. The leafy greenhood is found in small, isolated populations in Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania. It is listed as "vulnerable" due to threats such as habitat loss, weed invasion, and grazing by animals.
