Chusquea mollis is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 23.8°C and precipitation of 2460 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~34.9), varying from 29.3°C in the warmest month to 18.1°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~85.7). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~41.5), varying from 620 mm in the wettest month to 27 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 1625 mm) and driest (totaling 121 mm) quarters being 23.7°C and 23.7°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (29°C) and coolest (16.6°C) quarters being 562 mm and 626 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.
