Chusquea spectabilis is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 19.5°C and precipitation of 2177 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~36.2), varying from 25.1°C in the warmest month to 14°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~87). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~39.6), varying from 658 mm in the wettest month to 2 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 1913 mm) and driest (totaling 9 mm) quarters being 19.4°C and 19.5°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (28.4°C) and coolest (8°C) quarters being 523 mm and 638 mm, respectively.

Tables and figures are dynamically generated by intersecting georeferenced herbarium specimen localities with 10 minute resolution WorldClim v2.1 variables (Fick and Hijmans 2017). The above data are subject to change as specimens and geocoordinates are added, removed or altered.
