Rhipidocladum cordatum is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 15.8°C and precipitation of 742 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~19.3), varying from 22.4°C in the warmest month to 9.1°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~88.3). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~105.4), varying from 208 mm in the wettest month to 6 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 478 mm) and driest (totaling 25 mm) quarters being 15.9°C and 15.6°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (16°C) and coolest (15.6°C) quarters being 361 mm and 25 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.
