  1. Mean values for climatic variables in Cyclamen based on distribution data. Species order follows phylogenetic tree. Precipitation is given in mm per day, Temperature in °C. QVI given in parentheses, * indicates QVI is lower than 95th percentile of randomisation replicates.
  2. Key to column headings: Dev Tmp = Standard deviation of mean temperature; Pcp Wet Mnth = Mean daily precipitation in the wettest month; Tmp Warm Mnth = Mean temperature in the warmest month; Mean Tmp = Annual mean temperature; Dev Pcp = Standard deviation of mean daily precipitation; Num Mnth Tmp > 0 = Number of months with minimum temperature above freezing; Tmp Cool Mnth = Mean temperature in the coolest month; Pcp Warm Mnth = Mean daily precipitation in the warmest month; Tmp Range = Annual temperature range; Pcp Dry Mnth = Mean daily precipitation in the driest month; Min Tmp Cool Mnth = Minimum temperature in the coolest month; Pcp Cool Mnth = Mean daily precipitation in the coolest month; Mean Daily Pcp= Mean daily precipitation; Hi Tmp Warm Mnth = Highest temperature in the warmest month.
