The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica,
Panama, and Colombia. This species is the only Lockhartia found in Mexico,
where it grows in the States of Chiapas, Guerrero, Jalisco, and Oaxaca.
Plants usually grow in mountain forests at elevations up to 8850 ft. (2700
m), but they are occasionally found as low as (650 m) in Nicaragua. They
are most often found on the horizontal limbs of oak trees where they grow
in thick layers of fern roots, old leaves, and humus. In Costa Rica,
plants are found in evergreen forests at 3600-4900 ft. (1100-1500 m). In
Panama, plants occur in numerous locations in Chiriquí Province at
4000-7000 ft. (1220-2130 m).
