Pterostylis porrecta is a unique species of greenhood orchid found only in New Zealand. It has grass-like leaves and a single small, transparent white and green flower with lateral sepals that are held horizontally in front of the flower. Non-flowering plants have a rosette of dark green leaves, while flowering plants have a single flower on a tall stem with additional leaves wrapped around it. The flower has a hood-like structure and a curved, greenish labellum. It blooms in December and January. This species was first described in 1997 and its name, porrecta, means "spread out" in Latin. It grows in deep shade in forests and scrub and is considered a rare species under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.
