It is considered a highly [[invasive species|invasive]] plant in a number of Pacific islands to which it has been introduced, being rated as "high risk" in this context. There is however not much data on what problems it is actually causing. It is noted as a contributor to the decline of Hawaiian sedge species ''[[Carex thunbergii]]'' and ''[[Carex echinata]]''. It is considered invasive in: Chagos Archipelago, Seychelles, Hawaii, Lord Howe Island, French Polynesia, Marshall Islands, Niue, Norfolk Island, Solomon Islands, and Wallis and Futuna Islands. |
