Cultivation
Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species.
Climate across the habitat
No habitat climate can be derived: Only 2 distinct land cells of the climate grid hold an in-range record placed to within 10 km; three are needed for an envelope. 56 of the 58 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km, or to no stated accuracy and fewer than three decimals or by something other than a person's observation, and cannot place a climate cell, though they count for the map and its marker.
Natural habitat
Native range as published by WCVP; the marker is where the records are densest and decides nothing.
Openly licensed records inside the range, framed on where they fall.

Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 58 georeferenced records inside the native range; the map shows only the 50 openly licensed ones, which alone would put the marker in the same place. 3 records outside the WCVP native range not used. No climate across the range is derived for this species. 56 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km, or with no stated accuracy (admitted only as a person's observation to three decimals), and stay on the map but off the climate.
How this section is made
The map marker: the openly licensed record nearest the middle of the densest 1° population of the 58 in-range records; it decides nothing. Records outside the native range, living specimens and records marked introduced are not used; which records count.
Photographs
Not checked. iNaturalist was skipped (not asked) when this page was built; GBIF's observation records with coordinates hold none. Not a statement that none exist.

Only “nothing to report” is ever shown as an absence. Records came from 20 datasets via GBIF.org; each carries its own licence.
