Family: Fabaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Grows in tropical climates
  
• Other species might be invasive
  
• Shade-tolerant
  
• Tolerates many soil types
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Possibly self-compatible
  
• Seeds dispersed by wind and intentionally planted by people
  
• Missing ecological information may limit 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)
  
• Ornamental
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively
  
• Seeds are recalcitrant and not reported to form a persistent seed bank
