Merostachys ximenae is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 23.6°C and precipitation of 1207 mm. Temperatures show moderate seasonality (standard deviation ~191.3), varying from 31.9°C in the warmest month to 14°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~65.7). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~79.4), varying from 241 mm in the wettest month to 12 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 646 mm) and driest (totaling 40 mm) quarters being 25°C and 21°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (25.8°C) and coolest (21°C) quarters being 463 mm and 44 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.
