Endemic to Peru, C. macrocorys was formally described and published by Rolfe in 1892, contributing to the taxonomic understanding of orchids in South America. The species is characterized by the typical morphological features of the genus, including a unique floral structure that is adapted for specific pollination mechanisms. Its habitat and ecological preferences remain largely associated with the diverse ecosystems of the Peruvian region.
