Chusquea petiolata is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 18.7°C and precipitation of 1603 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~39.3), varying from 24.2°C in the warmest month to 13.1°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~88.8). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~59.6), varying from 303 mm in the wettest month to 2 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 778 mm) and driest (totaling 9 mm) quarters being 18.6°C and 18.5°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (23.1°C) and coolest (14.4°C) quarters being 468 mm and 452 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.
