Pterostylis flavovirens, commonly known as the coastal banded greenhood,[2] is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to South Australia where it grows in coastal areas of the Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Southern Lofty, Kangaroo Island and South-Eastern botanical regions of South Australia.[3] It was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones who gave it the name Bunochilus flavovirens. The description was published in the journal Australian Orchid Research from a specimen collected near Port Lincoln.[4] In 2008 Robert Bates changed the name to Pterostylis flavovirens.[5] The specific epithet (flavovirens) is derived from the Latin words flavus meaning “golden-yellow” or "yellow"[6]:872 and virens meaning "green".[6]:383
