Merostachys fistulosa is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 19.5°C and precipitation of 1398 mm. Temperatures show considerable seasonality (standard deviation ~210.5), varying from 27.4°C in the warmest month to 9.2°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~65.3). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~80.6), varying from 344 mm in the wettest month to 3 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 871 mm) and driest (totaling 12 mm) quarters being 21.3°C and 16.6°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (22.7°C) and coolest (14.6°C) quarters being 574 mm and 63 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.
