Merostachys ternata is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 22.2°C and precipitation of 1391 mm. Temperatures show considerable seasonality (standard deviation ~215.3), varying from 29.3°C in the warmest month to 14.4°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~58.7). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~37.7), varying from 292 mm in the wettest month to 19 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 861 mm) and driest (totaling 70 mm) quarters being 24.2°C and 19.9°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (26.3°C) and coolest (14.1°C) quarters being 462 mm and 230 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.
