Pterostylis ampliata
Pterostylis ampliata, commonly known as the large autumn greenhood, is a species of greenhood orchid endemic to eastern Australia. It is similar in appearance to Pterostylis revoluta, a related species restricted to Queensland and New South Wales.
Pterostylis ampliata is a widespread species occurring in Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, and Victoria. It is most common in drier inland areas and rarer near the coast, growing primarily in sclerophyll forest and woodland where well-draining soils are present. It is capable of growing on ridges, slopes, and flats, often on bare, skeletal soil.
