Chiloglottis cornuta

Chiloglottis cornuta, commonly known as the green bird orchid,[2] is a species of orchid found in south-eastern Australia and in New Zealand, including many of its offshore islands.

The column is erect, almost as long as the dorsal sepal with broad wings on the upper half.

[2][3][4][5] Chiloglottis cornuta was first formally described in 1844 by Joseph Dalton Hooker from a specimen collected near "Campbell's Island" and the description was published in Flora Antarctica.

[6][7] The specific epithet (cornuta) is a Latin word meaning "bearing horns".

[8] The green bird orchid grows in moist places in sheltered forest in far south-eastern New South Wales, eastern Victoria, far south-eastern South Australia and in Tasmania.
