California

Pancratium maritimum -- California

Senna artemisioides -- California

  • Read more about Senna artemisioides -- California

There was not much information found assessing how invasive Senna artemisioides may be in areas across the world where it is not native.

Caesalpinia spinosa -- California

Euphorbia hypericifolia -- California

  • Read more about Euphorbia hypericifolia -- California

The common horticultural container plant Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’ is sometimes attributed to Euphorbia hypericifolia but it is not closely related (CDFA). Ron Vanderhoff suspects that Euphorbia is marginally adapted to xeric conditions and will likely become a common urban weed but will only marginally establish in wildlands (2022).

Senecio angustifolius -- California

  • Read more about Senecio angustifolius -- California

These is a scarcity of published date about this species natural history or invasiveness, making several of these questions either unanswered or with a low confidence score. Outside of its native South Africa, California appears to be the only location the species has naturalized, making us perhaps an early indicator for other similar climate areas of the world.

Briefly mentioned in Questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are what I am considering dubious occurrence records in Mexico, Germany, Spain, and Taiwan:

Caesalpinia spinosa -- California

Question 11: I only found one source (Balaguer et al. 2011) that stated this plant can reproduce vegetatively. Most other sources only discuss propagation via seeds, however they don't specify whether other methods are possible. I found conflicting information on the New Zealand Plant Conservation Network that states this plant only reproduces via seed.

 

Lathyrus nissolia -- California

Evaluator's note: This evaluation was difficult to conduct because of the general lack of information available on the species. Lathyrus nissolia may eventually be re-evaluated as a high risk once its impacts are better known.
