Pterostylis “Peninsula” or Peninsula greenhood, was first spotted by Gordon Sylvester on the Brunner Peninsular, Lake Rotoiti, St Arnaud where this one was photographed on 20/12/02. The flower is 13mm tall on a stem ±120mm, it thrives in damp, mossy, glacial till under second growth beech. It is unclassified as yet but is similar to Pterostylis graminea, the grass leafed green hood which has a longer dorsal sepal extending well past the crossing tips of the lateral petals. Gordon has since found Pt. “Peninsula” in Kumara.
