Merostachys ciliata is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 21°C and precipitation of 1991 mm. Temperatures show considerable seasonality (standard deviation ~304.9), varying from 29.3°C in the warmest month to 12.8°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~46.4). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~43.5), varying from 279 mm in the wettest month to 78 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 823 mm) and driest (totaling 273 mm) quarters being 25°C and 17.6°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (25°C) and coolest (17.6°C) quarters being 823 mm and 273 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.
