Merostachys skvortzovii is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 18.1°C and precipitation of 1580 mm. Temperatures show considerable seasonality (standard deviation ~299.5), varying from 27.2°C in the warmest month to 8.4°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~55.9). Precipitation shows relatively little seasonality (coefficient of variation ~28.3), varying from 278 mm in the wettest month to 2 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 787 mm) and driest (totaling 8 mm) quarters being 19.7°C and 16.2°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (27.8°C) and coolest (11.1°C) quarters being 476 mm and 321 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.
