Chusquea rigida is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 13.3°C and precipitation of 977 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~45.8), varying from 19.7°C in the warmest month to 7.1°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~85.7). Precipitation shows relatively little seasonality (coefficient of variation ~25.9), varying from 211 mm in the wettest month to 29 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 618 mm) and driest (totaling 107 mm) quarters being 13.4°C and 13.1°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (23.7°C) and coolest (8.2°C) quarters being 257 mm and 232 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.
