Chusquea cortesii is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 14.8°C and precipitation of 1919 mm. Temperatures show moderate seasonality (standard deviation ~112.7), varying from 23.5°C in the warmest month to 6°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~71.8). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~78.7), varying from 344 mm in the wettest month to 23 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 872 mm) and driest (totaling 77 mm) quarters being 15.6°C and 14°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (16°C) and coolest (13.3°C) quarters being 603 mm and 88 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.
