Merostachys fischeriana is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 21°C and precipitation of 1316 mm. Temperatures show moderate seasonality (standard deviation ~196.2), varying from 28.8°C in the warmest month to 12°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~64.3). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~63.5), varying from 385 mm in the wettest month to 4 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 1076 mm) and driest (totaling 15 mm) quarters being 22.6°C and 18.7°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (26.1°C) and coolest (14.3°C) quarters being 479 mm and 131 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.
