Subject: WEEDS: Coccinea grandis (ivy-fruited gourd)

I am searching for any literature references or anecdotal information 
about the invasiveness as a weed of _Coccinea grandis_ (ivy-fruited 
gourd).  Any help would be appreciated!  This is a potentially 
devastating weed which could wreak havoc with still-existing Hawaiian 
native ecosystems; I'm trying to get together a library of information 
about it to be used to hopefully attempt to prevent its introduction 
to/spread in the Hawaiian Islands (particularly Maui).

Please forward this message to any other relevant lists that you know of.

Thanks!
