Аннотация:AbstractNoronhia emarginata is a slow-growing evergreen tree native to Madagascar. The species has been introduced to several tropical and subtropical countries as an ornamental. It is widely but sporadically cultivated in tropical regions, primarily as an ornamental tree, and sometimes grown in various tropical botanical gardens. A very tough tree with a high tolerance for salt and wind, N. emarginata is well suited to coastal and seaside locations. The species has been recorded as invasive in Hawaii, but further evaluation was required based on the weed risk assessment. It is considered a highly invasive species in Bermuda, but no details on its impact are available. The species is not considered to be a weed which causes disturbance in gardens, nor does it impact any agricultural, forestry or horticultural activities. The species has not been documented in any undisturbed natural areas in Florida.
