This species is common on coastal hills of central Chile.[2]
It is observed in areas, in which the habitats of Baccharis linearis and Baccharis macraei overlap or come into close contact. It is a natural hybrid of the aforementioned species and is part of a homoploid hybrid swarm. The morphology is intermediate in all aspects and shows all variations from both extremes of the parental phenotypes to intermediate forms. This is due to the back-crossing of hybrids with the parent species.[3] The intermediate morphology is also reflected in the specific epithet intermedia, which suggests this species is intermediate between others.
