Pterostylis is a terrestrial deciduous genus of some 200 or so species of orchids found in central and eastern Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea and New Caledonia.[1] The common name of this orchid is Greenhood - a number of species have green flowers with the dorsal sepal forming a "hood" over the rest of the flower. The name Pterostylis is based on the Greek words meaning winged column (pteron - a wing, stylis - a column). In a number of species, the flower has a hinged lip that swings backwards when touched by an insect, forming a tube with the column and wings. The trapped insect is then forced to crawl out of the tube, removing the pollinia in the process.
