Family: Orchidaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Grows in tropical climates
  
• Naturalized on Oahu, Hawaiian Islands
  
• Other Dendrobium species may be weedy
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Forms natural hybrids with other Dendrobium species
  
• Self-compatible
  
• Seeds dispersed by wind and intentionally by people
  
• As an orchid, presumably produces prolific numbers of seeds
  
• Limited, or missing biological and ecological information may limit accuracy or risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• No negative impacts documented to date
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Non-toxic
  
• Epiphytic habit may limit dispersal vectors to wind or intentional planting
