Family: Asparagaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Elevation range exceeds 1000 m, possibly demonstrating environmental versatility
  
• Grow in tropical climates
  
• Bulbous geophyte
  
• Reproduces by seed
  
• Self-fertile
  
• Seeds dispersed by gravity; possibly secondarily by wind, water or other vectors
  
• Prolific seed production (densities unknown)
  
• Limited biological and ecological information may reduce 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 and medicinal uses
  
• Slow growth rate
