Pterostylis lineata, also known as the Blue Mountains leafy greenhood, is a plant in the orchid family that is native to New South Wales. It is a perennial herb with a distinct difference between its non-flowering and flowering plants. The non-flowering plants have a rosette of leaves on a short stalk, while the flowering plants lack a rosette and have up to seven dark green flowers with translucent "windows" on a tall stem. The labellum, or lip, of the flower is light brown with a black stripe. This plant is found in moist soil in wet forests in the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas. It was first described in 2006 and given the name Bunochilus lineatus, but was later changed to Pterostylis lineata in 2010. The specific epithet, lineata, refers to the linear markings on the labellum. Flowering occurs from August to October.
