Family: Sapindaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Thrives in tropical climates
  
• Naturalized on Hawaii (Hawaiian Islands)
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Presumably self-fertile due to reports of single tree producing seeds
  
• Seeds suspected to be dispersed by birds and intentionally by people
  
• Gaps in biological and ecological information reduce accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or detrimental impacts in Hawaii or in other areas where cultivated
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Leaves palatable to lemurs and monkeys (suggesting potential palatability to ungulates)
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively
  
• Relatively large seeds unlikely to be inadvertently dispersed
