An inland species 150–200 mm high with five to 10 leaves forming a ground-hugging basal rosette 25–30 mm across and up to seven translucent, green and white flowers 5–7 mm across.

It appears to differ from the similar Dainty Brown Rufous Greenhood (Pterostylis tryphera) only in having green rather than light brown flowers and may be a form of that species.
