Pterostylis setifera, also known as the bristly rustyhood or sikh's whiskers, is a perennial herb in the orchid family that is native to south-eastern Australia. It has a rosette of leaves and produces four to ten translucent white, green, and brown flowers with a unique insect-like labellum covered in long, bristly hairs. This plant grows in a variety of habitats, including among rocks and in mallee vegetation, and is found in scattered populations in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It was first described in 1985 and its specific epithet, setifera, means "bearing bristles" in Latin. Flowering occurs from September to November.
