Pterostylis bureaviana is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to New Caledonia. It was first formally described in 1906 by Rudolf Schlechter from a specimen collected on mountains near Païta and the description was published in the journal Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie. [3] [4] This greenhood orchid is found between Yaté and the Massif de Tchingou, growing in rainforest and dense humid forest, often in Nothofagus leaf litter. [5]
