Genus
Pterostylis R.Br.; Prodr. Fl. Nov. Holland. 326 (1810), nom. cons.
Distribution: mostly Australia (many undescribed spp. in Western Australia), New Zealand (26-28), 2 New Guinea, few New Caledonia. The genus has suffered extensive splitting in recent years, which is probably not justified, and is treated here sensu lato, following Genera Orchidacearum.
