Family: Fabaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Thrives in tropical climates
  
• Elevation distribution exceeds 1000 m in native range
  
• Nitrogen fixing tree can alter soil nutrients and chemistry
  
• Mimetic seeds may potentially be bird-dispersed
  
• Hard-coated seeds may form a persistent seed bank

Low Risk Traits:

• No records of naturalization or weediness elsewhere
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns or burrs)
  
• Landscaping and ornamental value
  
• Bright red seeds are used in necklaces
  
• Relatively large pods and seeds unlikely to be inadvertently dispersed
