Pterostylis nigricans, also known as the dark greenhood, is a type of orchid found only in eastern Australia. It has a unique appearance, with non-flowering plants having a rosette of leaves and flowering plants lacking this feature but having up to six small green, white, and brown flowers with a rough texture. The plant has an underground tuber and can grow up to 350mm tall when flowering. Its flowers bloom from March to May and are characterized by a hood-like structure formed by the fused dorsal sepal and petals. The plant was first described in 1988 and its name, nigricans, refers to the dark color of its flowers. It can be found in coastal and near-coastal areas of south-eastern Queensland and northern New South Wales.
