Family: Ochnaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Elevation range exceeds 1000 m, demonstrating environmental versatility
  
• Thrives in tropical climates
  
• Naturalized on Molokai and Maui (Hawaiian Islands)
  
• A pantropical weed of roadsides and pastures
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Self-compatible
  
• Annual and perennial life cycle
  
• Autochorous, but distribution in heavily trafficked areas and along streams likely facilitates secondary dispersal
  
• Gaps in biological and ecological information may limit accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• Despite designation as a pantropical weed, there are generally no descriptions of detrimental impacts
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Non-toxic
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively
