High Risk Traits:

• Elevation range exceeds 1000 m, demonstrating environmental versatility
  
• Thrives in tropical climates
  
• Shade-tolerant
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Seeds dispersed by birds and intentionally by people
  
• Limited ecological information reduces accuracy or risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:
