Family: Bignoniaceae
High Risk Traits:
- Grows and could potentially spread in tropical climates
- Reproduces by seeds
- Seeds dispersed by wind, possibly water, and intentionally by people
- Able to coppice and resprout after cutting
- Gaps in biological and ecological information may reduce accuracy of risk prediction
Low Risk Traits:
- No reports of invasiveness or naturalization, but no evidence of widespread introduction outside native range
- Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
- Provides fodder for livestock
- Non-toxic
- Grows in full sun (and spread into dense, shaded forest may be prevented)
- Not reported to spread vegetatively
