Pterostylis hians, also known as the opera house greenhood, is a type of orchid found only in New South Wales, Australia. It has a unique appearance, with a rosette of leaves when not flowering and a single shiny white and green flower when in bloom. This species is only found in one location near Ulladulla. It is a perennial herb with an underground tuber and can grow up to 300mm tall. The flower has a hood-like structure and a pointed tip, with thread-like tips on the lateral sepals. The labellum, or lip, is small and barely visible. This orchid blooms from March to May. It was first described in 1997 and its name, hians, comes from the Latin word for "gaping" or "yawning". The opera house greenhood is found in shrubby forests in a small area near Ulladulla.
