  1. From what I have read Diplodium striatum is a homotypic synonym and that Pterostylis striata is its accepted name. Please correct me if this is wrong.

''Pterostylis striata'', commonly known as the mainland striped greenhood, is a species of orchid endemic to south-eastern mainland Australia. As with similar orchids, the flowering plants differ from those which are not flowering. The non-flowering plants have a rosette of leaves but the flowering plants have a single flower with leaves on the flowering spike.
