Family: Aizoaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Elevation range exceeds 1000 m, demonstrating environmental versatility
  
• Grows in temperate and tropical climates
  
• Naturalized in the Hawaiian Islands (Oahu, Molokai, Maui) and the Arabian Peninsula (Bahrain; Saudi Arabia; United Arab Emirates)
  
• Other Sesuvium species are weeds
  
• Reproduces by seeds and vegetatively from root suckers (observed in greenhouse)
  
• Self-compatible
  
• Able to reach maturity in <1 year (but typically perennial)
  
• Likely dispersed by water due to proximity to aquatic environments
  
• Intentionally cultivated by people (limited)

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of negative impacts (although no evidence of widespread cultivation)
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Edible to animals and people
