• Elevation range exceeds 1000 m, demonstrating some environmental versatility
  
• Grows in tropical climates
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Seeds likely dispersed by birds and intentionally by people
  
• Limited ecological information reduces accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or naturalization, but no evidence of widespread introduction outside native range
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns or burrs)
  
• Ornamental uses
