Family: Fabaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Grows and could spread in regions with tropical climates
  
• Armed with prickles on branches and spiny fruit
  
• May be allelopathic
  
• Wood dust may be harmful
  
• Shade-tolerant
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• May be able to spread vegetatively through suckering (limited evidence)
  
• May reach maturity in 3+ years
  
• Seeds dispersed autochorously (explosively) and through intentional cultivation

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of naturalization or invasiveness worldwide
  
• Self-incompatible
  
• Relatively large seeds lack means for long-distance dispersal
