Chusquea spathacea is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 27.7°C and precipitation of 1016 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~61.4), varying from 33.2°C in the warmest month to 21.4°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~79.3). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~51.4), varying from 160 mm in the wettest month to 19 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 404 mm) and driest (totaling 88 mm) quarters being 27.8°C and 26.9°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (28.3°C) and coolest (26.8°C) quarters being 305 mm and 121 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.
