Pterostylis reflexa, also known as the dainty greenhood, is a type of orchid that is native to New South Wales. It is easily distinguishable from other greenhoods by its unique appearance when flowering. Non-flowering plants have a rosette of leaves on the ground, while flowering plants have a single flower on a stem with leaves. The flower is white, green, and light brown, with a long, curved dorsal sepal and a protruding labellum. This orchid grows as a perennial herb with an underground tuber and can reach heights of 100-200mm. It blooms from March to June and is mainly found in coastal and near-coastal forests in New South Wales. Pterostylis reflexa was first described in 1810 by Robert Brown and its name comes from the Latin word meaning "bent or turned back."
