Lobostemon montanus is currently most abundant in localities around False Bay, from Betties Bay to Cape Point, and there are historical collections from Hermanus. Collections are also known from the Atlantic seaboard on the Cape Peninsula, as well as the northern lower slopes of Table Mountain, the latter where the type specimens for the names L. montanus and L. sprengelianus derive from.
