Merostachys medullosa is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 23.5°C and precipitation of 1342 mm. Temperatures show moderate seasonality (standard deviation ~149.1), varying from 29.4°C in the warmest month to 17.1°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~65.1). Precipitation shows relatively little seasonality (coefficient of variation ~29), varying from 231 mm in the wettest month to 16 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 676 mm) and driest (totaling 73 mm) quarters being 23.7°C and 22.5°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (26.2°C) and coolest (20.8°C) quarters being 351 mm and 312 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.
