Lankesteriana is a genus of about 22 small epiphytic orchids from the tropical Americas, from southern Mexico to Bolivia and southern Brazil. Most grow on tree branches in humid forest, so they need steady moisture, good air movement and bright, filtered light.
Lankesteriana is a genus of flowering plants in the family Orchidaceae. It includes 22 species of orchids native to the tropical Americas, ranging from southern Mexico to Bolivia and southern Brazil.
The genus was described in 2014 by Adam P. Karremans to include Anathallis barbulata its close relatives. The genus is more closely related to some species of Trichosalpinx and Zootrophion than to Anathallis.
