Climate of the native range

The Köppen climate classes found in the areas this plant is recorded as native to. It does not mean an entire area has that climate.

  • Af Tropical, rainforest
  • Am Tropical, monsoon
  • BSh Arid, steppe, hot
  • ET Polar, tundra
  • Cfb Temperate, no dry season, warm summer
  • Cwa Temperate, dry winter, hot summer

The same climate occurs in 177 areas worldwide, 165 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).
