  • Aw Tropical, savannah
  • BWh Arid, desert, hot
  • Cwa Temperate, dry winter, hot summer
  • Cwb Temperate, dry winter, warm summer
  • BSk Arid, steppe, cold

The same climate occurs in 184 areas worldwide, 176 of which have no record of this plant. See them on the map

A matching climate does not mean the plant can grow there. Range limits are also set by things other than climate — dispersal history, soils, competition. Source: Beck et al. (2023), CC BY 4.0 (observed period 1991–2020).
