Family: Asphodelaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Grows in tropical climates
  
• Other Aloe species have become invasive
  
• Leaves with sharp marginal teeth
  
• Reported to be Shade-tolerant
  
• Reproduces by seed
  
• Seeds, when produced, wind-dispersed
  
• Intentional dispersal by people
  
• Limited biological and ecological information reduces accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or naturalization, but limited evidence of widespread introduction outside native range
  
• Aloe species palatable to browsing animals such as goats
  
• Ornamental
  
• Self-incompatible
  
• May require specialized pollinators, which could limit seed production
