Family: Pittosporaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Thrives in tropical climates
  
• Elevation range exceeds 1000 m
  
• Naturalizing on Oahu, Hawaiian Islands
  
• Other Pittosporum species have become invasive
  
• Shade-tolerant
  
• Produces fleshy fruits and seeds that are dispersed by birds and other frugivorous animals
  
• Lack of pertinent biological and ecological information makes accurate risk prediction difficult

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of naturalization or invasiveness elsewhere, but apparently not widely cultivated outside native range
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns or burrs)
  
• Ornamental and medicinal uses in native range
