Hi Randy, Tropical legumes that spread by seed can be very dangerous in Hawai'i.
They are not so damaging to gardens as they are easily removed, but they can and are displacing native forest.

Thanks for the Albizia explanation Ecrane! I am not familiar with that plant.

The plant that Patootie showed looks just like the "Chocolate" form of "Albizia" found in Hawai'i.

Below is White Albizia, Falcataria moluccana, syn. Albizia falcata. It is the common form of Albizia which is a serious weed in Hawai'i. The Chocolate variety is less common.
