Merostachys delicatula is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 23.9°C and precipitation of 1854 mm. Temperatures show moderate seasonality (standard deviation ~134.3), varying from 28.8°C in the warmest month to 18.8°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~62.1). Precipitation shows relatively little seasonality (coefficient of variation ~17.3), varying from 230 mm in the wettest month to 84 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 687 mm) and driest (totaling 274 mm) quarters being 23.7°C and 22.9°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (25.7°C) and coolest (21.8°C) quarters being 471 mm and 494 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.
