Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Pterostylis incognita, also known as the Sale greenhood, is a plant in the orchid family that is native to Victoria, Australia. It has a rosette of leaves and up to twelve flowers on a stem, with a rosette at the base. The plant was first collected in 1895 near Sale, but was not formally described until 2009, when it was presumed to be extinct. Pterostylis incognita is a perennial herb with underground tubers and egg-shaped leaves. Its flowers are small and have a hood-like structure over the column. The plant blooms from September to October and is found in grassland or grassy forests near Sale. Unfortunately, no collections of this species have been made in over a century, leading to its presumed extinction.
