Pterostylis daintreana, commonly known as Daintree's greenhood, is a species of orchid endemic to eastern Australia. It is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and when not flowering, a rosette of between three and ten egg-shaped to heart-shaped leaves. Flowering plants have a one or two rosettes on the side of the flowering stem with between three and ten flowers and three to five stem leaves. The flowers are translucent white with dark green markings and the labellum is about 4 mm (0.2 in) long, 2 mm (0.08 in) wide and dark brown with two large side lobes. It grows on the coast and tablelands of New South Wales and southern Queensland among small shrubs or on mossy rocks. It was first formally described in 1873 by George Bentham, assisted by Ferdinand von Mueller, from a specimen collected by Richard Daintree near Sydney.
