Chusquea costaricensis is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 21.2°C and precipitation of 3111 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~59.5), varying from 26.7°C in the warmest month to 15.8°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~80.6). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~32.7), varying from 388 mm in the wettest month to 94 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 1052 mm) and driest (totaling 352 mm) quarters being 21.4°C and 21.3°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (26.5°C) and coolest (14.3°C) quarters being 721 mm and 710 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.
