Family: Fabaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Climbing growth habit – Can smother other plants.
  
• Tolerates pruning – Resilient to damage or control efforts.
  
• Frequently introduced – Widely cultivated, increasing escape opportunities.

Low Risk Traits:

• Narrow climate tolerance – Only grows in frost-free tropical/subtropical zones.
  
• Not known to be invasive – No evidence of naturalization or environmental harm.
  
• Specialist pollinator needed – Requires specific bats for seed set.
  
• Self-incompatible – Cannot pollinate itself.
  
• Low seed production & viability – Few seeds produced; they remain viable for only ~2 weeks.
  
• No effective seed dispersal – Lacks adaptations for wind, water, or animal dispersal.
  
• No vegetative reproduction – Does not spread via fragments.
