Pterostylis readii is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae[1] and is endemic to New South Wales.[2]
It was first described in 2017 as Bunochilus readii by David L. Jones and Lachlan Copeland,[1][3] but was transferred to the genus, Pterostylis, in 2019 by David L. Jones.[1][4]
It has been found only on the upper slopes of Mount Kaputar, NSW, growing in woodland at altitudes of 1100 to 1200 m.[3]
