Family: Rutaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Grows in tropical climates
  
• Widely naturalized (although region of origin uncertain)
  
• Related Citrus species have become invasive
  
• Branchlets with spines
  
• Host for citrus greening disease
  
• Contact with sap may cause skin irritation
  
• Tolerates many soil types
  
• Self-compatible and spreads by seeds
  
• Fruit possibly consumed by large frugivorous mammals that could disperse the seeds (feral pigs may fill this role in the Hawaiian Islands)

Low Risk Traits:

• Not reported to be invasive or weedy
  
• Edible leaves used in cooking
  
• Not known to spread vegetatively
  
• Relatively large fruits and seeds unlikely to be accidentally dispersed
