Family: Bignoniaceae

Radermachera sinica (China Doll Plant) is a tropical evergreen tree or shrub native to subtropical regions of southern China and Taiwan. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental houseplant and garden plant due to its attractive, glossy, bipinnate leaves and occasional clusters of trumpet-shaped, white or pale-yellow flowers. It reproduces by wind-dispersed seeds and is reported to escape from cultivation and to be potentially naturalized on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and in Florida but has not been documented to have any negative impacts to date.

High Risk Traits:

• Grows in tropical climates
  
• Naturalized on Oahu, Hawaiian Islands and in Florida
  
• Cited as an environmental weed (but no impacts specified)
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Seeds dispersed by wind, possibly birds and intentionally by people
  
• Reaches maturity in 3+ years
  
• Limited ecological information limits accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• Unarmed (no spines, thorns or burrs)
  
• Ornamental
  
• May have limited shade tolerance
