            <p> Pterostylis jeanesii N.Reiter, B.Kosky &amp; M.A.Clem. ,  spec. nov. (Fig. 6) </p>
            <p>  Type: — AUSTRALIA. Victoria: Murray Sunset National Park,  Mopoke , 44 m, 22 Oct 2019,  Reiter 407 (holotype: MEL2481870 A)  . </p>
            <p> Pterostylis jeanesii (Fig. 5, revised key to Vicflora Appendix 7) has similarities to  P. exelsa but differs from that species by way of lacking a crest of small dense setae on the labellum mound, shorter scape 9–20 cm (versus 80 cm), 2–5 flowers (versus up to 20).  Pterostylis jeanesii is similar to  P. pedina but differs from this species in the following: wider lateral sepals, longer free points of the sepals, longer labellum, wider labellum, longer prominent setae, taller flower, taller basal mound and wider basal mound.  Pterostylis jeansii corresponds to the following illustrations: Backhouse (2019: 358; as P. species ‘Sunset Country’) and Jeanes &amp; Backhouse (2006: 140; as P. sp.  aff. excelsa ). </p>
            <p>Deciduous terrestrial, solitary, tuberous herbs. Leaves sessile 2–10 in a rosette, imbricate, green, or withered at anthesis; lamina narrowly elliptical, margins entire, acute to acuminate to 2.0  1.1 cm. Scape 9–20 cm tall, 0.4 cm diam. Flowers 2–5, 2.0–4.0 cm tall, 1.0– 2.1 cm thick. Sterile leafy bracts 2–5, ensheathing stem, lanceolate, acuminate, withered at flowering, 0.5–2.5 cm long. Floral bracts ovate-lanceolate, not overlapping at base of scape, clasping stem, apex acute to acuminate, 20–45  3–10 mm. Pedicels slender 2.1–2.9 cm long, enclosed within the floral bract. Ovaries narrowly cylindrical, 4.0–7.0  1.5–3.0 mm. Flowers porrect; galea bulbous, mostly glabrous or with few short bristles along the apical and lateral ridges, gibbous at base, shallowly curved throughout, narrowing to a filiform, decurved apical point,translucent white with predominantly green to brown stripes and markings; petals mostly translucent white with small green or brown suffusions, margins incurved with well-developed basal flanges, usually not touching; lateral sepals usually translucent white with brown or green outline and striping, free points usually brown occasionally green, basal half of lateral margins covered with prominent short, white bristles. Dorsal sepal cucullate, broadest near the base 1.0– 2.1 cm long, tapering to an apical filiform, decurved point 0.2–1.0 cm long. Lateral sepals deflexed, narrow at base and conjoined in basal half, shallowly concave with thickened lateral margins, sparsely ciliate, conjoined part 7–11  5–12 mm; free points curved forward, filiform, 11–19 mm long, slightly spreading. Petals asymmetrical oblong-lancolate, falcate, 1.0–2.1  4.0–5.0 mm, dorsal margin prominently thickened, glaborus, anterior margin curved, glabrous, proximal flange brown prominent, apex acuminate. Labellum insectiform on a visible claw, articulate, highly sensitive to touch, nested between conjoined part of the lateral sepals when exposed and in set position; 4.8–5.7  1.2–2.1 mm, 0.3–0.4 mm deep, usually solid brown or green; laminar obovate to elliptical with basal lobe: 1.4–1.6 mm tall, 0.5–1.6  0.6–2.1 mm; distal margins with a series of spreading, short white setae, largest nearest the base, smaller towards apex, 0.4–2.7 mm long, with twin pairs of prominent long setae, 1.8–4.0 mm long on the labellum below the basal lobe. Column porrect, incurved, extending most of the length of the bulbous part of the galea, partly visible through translucent parts of the galea; column wings rectangular, distal margins covered in a series of fine, dense setae. Anther obtuse, green, c. 1.0 mm long. Pollinia linear, c. 1.0– 1.5 mm long, yellow.</p>
            <p>Flowering:— October</p>
            <p> Habitat: — Red soils in a low-lying  Casuarina pauper woodland with the following commonly occurring species:  Casuarina cristata ,  Sclerolaena diacantha ,  Chenopodium ulicinum ,  Enchylaena tomentosa ,  Maireana brevifolia ,  Olearia pimeleoides ,  Atriplex vesicaria ,  Beyeria viscosa and  Eremophila sp. At Borree Plains (NSW) the single herbarium specimen occurred in  Casuarina pauper woodland. The Berook site is open  Eucalyptus woodland. </p>
            <p>Distribution:— Herbarium specimens from four locations (Figure 1) between Murray Sunset National Park and Boree Plains in NSW. However, surveys in 2018 and 2019 only located this species at a single site within the Murray Sunset National Park, Victoria. Road works appear to have destroyed the plants at Berook, and no plants were found near Rocket Lake despite extensive surveys. The plants are likely to still be extant in Boree Plains NSW but were not seen in a survey by Kosky in 2019.</p>
            <p>Conservation status: — IUCN criteria CR C2ai (IUCN, 2012) for critically endangered with observed documented decline, less than 250 individuals known and less than 50 individuals in any known population. The remaining population in Victoria is in a national park.</p>
            <p> Etymology: — Named after the Victorian botanist Jeff Jeanes, who discovered the first specimens of this species and has made a significant contribution to the taxonomy of the  Orchidaceae and other plant families. </p>
            <p> Additional specimens examined: —   AUSTRALIA.

            <p> Pterostylis peakallana (Fig. 6, revised key to Vicflora Appendix 7) has affinities to  P. exelsa but differs from that species in lacking a crest of small dense setae and a scape 18–58 cm tall (versus up to 80 cm) with 1–8 flowers (versus up to 20).  Pterostylis peakallana is similar to  P. terminalis but differs in labellum tip not upturned, wider lateral sepals and longer prominent setae.  Pterostylis peakallana corresponds to the following illustrations: Backhouse (2019: 357; as P. species ‘north west plains’); Backhouse et al. (2016: 714; as P. ‘north west mallee’ - Yanac photos only). </p>
            <p>Deciduous terrestrial, solitary, tuberous herbs. Leaves sessile 2–10 in a rosette, imbricate, green, or withered at anthesis; lamina narrowly elliptical, margins entire, acute to acuminate, 0.5–3.5  0.5–1.0 cm. Scape 18–58 cm tall, 0.2–0.3 cm diam., generally 1–8 flowers, 3.0– 4.5 cm tall, 2.0– 2.5 cm thick.

Pedicels erect, glabrous, slender 2–4 cm long, partially enclosed within the floral bract, appressed against the stem. Ovaries erect to slightly porrect, near but not usually against the stem, glabrous, narrowly cylindrical, 4.0–7.0 mm  1.5–2.0 mm. Flowers porrect; galea bulbous, glabrous, gibbous at base, shallowly curved throughout, narrowing to a filiform, apical point; translucent white with predominantly green to light brown stripes and markings; petals mostly translucent white with small light green or brown suffusions, margins incurved with well-developed basal flanges, usually not touching; lateral sepals usually translucent white with light brown or green outline and striping, free points usually light brown-green, basal half of lateral margins covered with prominent white trichomes. Dorsal sepal cucullate, glabrous, broadest nearest the base, 2.0– 2.5 cm long, tapering to an apical filiform, straight to decurved point, 10-14 mm long. Lateral sepals deflexed, narrow at base and conjoined in basal half, flat to shallowly concave lateral margins, sparsely ciliate, conjoined part 8–11 mm long, 7–10 mm wide; free points curved forward, filiform, 11–23 mm long, spreading. Petals asymmetrical obong-lancolate, falcate, 0.8–1.2  4.2–6.2 mm, dorsal margin prominently thickened, glaborus, anterior margin curved, glabrous, proximal flange brown prominent, apex acuminate. Labellum insectiform on a visible claw, articulate, highly sensitive to touch, nested between conjoined part of the lateral sepals when exposed and in set position; 6.2–7.9  1.7–2.9 mm, 0.3–0.4 mm deep, usually solid green or brown, laminar oblanceolate with basal lobe: 1.6–2.5  0.7–1.3 mm, 1.4–2.0 mm wide; distal margins slightly uneven with a series of spreading white setae, largest nearest the base, smaller towards apex, 1.1–2.5 mm long, with twin pairs of prominent long setae, 2.6–4.6 mm long below the basal lobe, occasionally a set of hairs, 1.0– 1.5 mm, extending from the basal mound, not always present. Column porrect, incurved, extending most of the length of the bulbous part of the galea, partly visible through translucent parts of the galea; column wings rectangular, distal margins covered in a series of fine, dense setae. Anther obtuse, green, c. 1 mm long. Pollinia linear, yellow.</p>
            <p>Flowering: — Peak flowering November.</p>
            <p> Habitat: — Different semi-arid habitats, the first a floristically depauperate, low-lying, seasonally inundated open  Eucalyptus woodland on cracking clays dominated by  Eucalyptus calycogona subsp. trachybasis and  Eucalyptus phenax subsp. phenax , and the second site a diverse open eucalypt woodland dominated by  Eucalyptus largiflorens ,  Bursaria spinosa Cavanilles (1797: 30) ,  Chrysocephalum semipapposum Steetz in Lehman (1845: 474),  Rhodanthe corymbiflora (Schlechtendal 1848: 448) Wilson (1992: 391) with a diverse understory community of grasses and geophytes. </p>
            <p>Distribution: — Currently known from two widely disjunct populations (Fig. 1) within Wyperfeld National Park and a reserve near Boort, with unconfirmed reports from one further location within Wyperfeld National Park.</p>
            <p> Conservation status: — Endangered,  P. peakallana meets the IUCN criteria (IUCN, 2012) EN D for endangered with less than 250 individuals known. However, considering the large area of similar habitat within Wyperfeld, Murray Sunset and surrounding reserved areas, adequate surveys for this species in mid-November in years of high rainfall are required to accurately determine its status. </p>
            <p>Etymology:— Named in honour of Rod Peakall in recognition of his role in elucidating the pollination mechanisms of many Australian orchids and his contributions to understanding evolution of pollination by sexual deception.</p>
