'''''Chiloglottis''''' is a small [[genus]] in the orchid [[family (biology)|family]] [[Orchidaceae]].
The botanical name of the genus is derived from Greek words, referring to the tongue-shaped [[labellum|lip]]. The [[type species ]] is ''Chiloglottis diphylla'' [[Robert Brown (botanist)|R.Br.]], ''[[Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen]]'': 323 (1810), that has now become a synonym of ''Chiloglottis reflexa'' [LaBill.] Druce 1917.
This genus of deciduous, terrestrial orchids is indigenous to [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]].
The species have 1 to 4 paired oblong-lanceolate, glabrous [[Leaf|leaves]] (usually two) and [[subterranean]] tuberoids. The [[flower]]s have 4 [[pollinium|pollina]]. The short [[peduncle]] elongates after fertilisation of the flower. The flower is insect-pollinated by sexual deception ([[pseudocopulation]]) of specific [[wasp]]s. The [[labellum|lip]] has raised calli, whose structures mimic the flightless female of the wasp [[pollination|pollinator]].
