Rhipidocladum cordatum is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 20.5°C and precipitation of 1095 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~48.6), varying from 26.9°C in the warmest month to 14.6°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~83.7). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~57.9), varying from 208 mm in the wettest month to 6 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 506 mm) and driest (totaling 25 mm) quarters being 20.7°C and 20.3°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (26.5°C) and coolest (15.6°C) quarters being 335 mm and 243 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.
