    Type d'organisme: arbre
    Leucaena leucocephala est un «arbre de conflit» largement promu pour la production de fourrage tropical et le reboisement alors qu'en même temps il se propage naturellement et qu'il est largement signalé comme envahissant. Cet arbre sans épine peut former des bosquets denses monospécifiques et il est difficile à éradiquer une fois établi. Il rend inutilisable et inaccessible de vastes zones, et menace les plantes indigènes.
    Se rencontre dans:
    broussailles/savanes, côtes, forêts naturelles, plantations forestières, prairies, rudéral/perturbé, zones agricoles, zones ripisylves, zones urbaines
    Cette espèce figure sur la liste de l’UICN des 100 espèces parmi les plus envahissantes au monde
