Notes: As stated by Witt: "A. mangium is highly invasive at a number of localities in Trinidad. Used in the rehabilitation of quarries, seeds have inadvertently been moved around the island and germinated, forming extensive stands (A. Witt, pers. obs.). Present in Cuba (CABI, 2020) but not known to be present or invasive elsewhere in the Caribbean."
