Pterostylis x aenigma D.L.Jones & M.A.Clem. , legitimate, named hybrid
Jones, D.L. & Clements, M.A. (24 May 1993), New species of Pterostylis R.Br. (Orchidaceae) from Victoria and New South Wales. Muelleria 8(1): 73, fig. 1 a-e BHL [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "Victoria, Knocker Track, Omeo, 37°06'S, 147°36'E, 11 Dec. 1989, R.Clark s.n.) (HOLOTYPUS: CBG; ISOTYPI: CBG,MEL)."
  • Comment: Published as "Pterostylis aenigma." Noted as possibly being of hybrid origin between P. cucullata and P. furcata (p. 75), but this is in error (D.L.Jones pers. comm. 2005). " P. furcata" should read P. falcata.
