Merostachys scandens is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 17.8°C and precipitation of 1593 mm. Temperatures show considerable seasonality (standard deviation ~289.6), varying from 26.5°C in the warmest month to 8.1°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~56.8). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~32), varying from 232 mm in the wettest month to 37 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 646 mm) and driest (totaling 129 mm) quarters being 20.4°C and 14.3°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (23.3°C) and coolest (12.5°C) quarters being 537 mm and 274 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.
