Merostachys lanata is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 23.8°C and precipitation of 1366 mm. Temperatures show moderate seasonality (standard deviation ~155.5), varying from 29.9°C in the warmest month to 17.3°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~65). Precipitation shows relatively little seasonality (coefficient of variation ~24.6), varying from 230 mm in the wettest month to 32 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 687 mm) and driest (totaling 123 mm) quarters being 24.4°C and 22.3°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (26.3°C) and coolest (20.9°C) quarters being 357 mm and 299 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.
