Description

B. candida is a perennial shrub widely introduced as an ornamental in tropical and subtropical regions of the world that has escaped from cultivation to become invasive principally in waste places in and around settled areas (Webb et al., 1988; Gilman, 1999; Wagner et al., 1999; Oviedo Prieto et al., 2012). It is also a long persistent relic of cultivation in old gardens. It is included in the Global Compendium of Weeds where it listed as a naturalized weed in Australia, New Zealand, Central America, the West Indies, and on several islands in the Pacific Ocean (Randall, 2012). It is also listed as invasive in New Zealand, Hawaii and Cuba (Webb et al., 1988; Wagner et al., 1999; Oviedo Prieto et al., 2012). This species spreads by seeds, but also by cuttings and stem segments and it may persist as suckering clumps particularly in moist sites (Wagner et al., 1999).
