It is only known to occur in the type locality in Santiago Comaltepec, Oaxaca, where it grows on the ground between plants. The species is part of a predominantly endemic Mexican radiation of the genus Cora. The lichen forms rosettes up to 10 cm across with dark olive-green lobes that have smooth, wavy surfaces and light yellowish-grey rolled-in edges.
