Pterostylis dolichochila, also known as the long-tongued shell orchid, is a unique species of orchid found only in southern Australia. It is a perennial herb with a rosette of leaves when not flowering, but produces a single flower on a spike when in bloom. The flower is green and white with reddish-brown stripes and has a sharply pointed dorsal sepal. This orchid is found in mallee habitats in South Australia and the Little Desert and Big Desert areas of Victoria. It was first described in 1985 and its name comes from the Greek words for "long" and "lip". Flowering occurs from April to August.
