Chusquea aristata is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 14.9°C and precipitation of 1417 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~43.2), varying from 20.8°C in the warmest month to 8.9°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~86.3). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~40.2), varying from 429 mm in the wettest month to 1 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 1205 mm) and driest (totaling 9 mm) quarters being 15°C and 14.8°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (28.1°C) and coolest (4.7°C) quarters being 412 mm and 329 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.
