Family: Fabaceae

High Risk Traits:

• High climate match for tropical regions.
  
• Intentionally introduced globally as an ornamental.

Low Risk Traits:

• No history of invasiveness.
  
• Extremely sensitive: requires strict tropical conditions, specific soils, and full sun.
  
• Major reproductive barriers: self-sterile, requires specific sunbird pollinators, produces few viable seeds.
  
• Slow to mature: takes 7-8 years to flower from seed.
  
• No vegetative spread.
  
• No unintended dispersal mechanisms (not wind, water, or animal-dispersed).
  
• Not toxic to humans or animals.
