Summary
Boehmeria penduliflora is a pioneering species of open disturbed environments. It displaces native plants, thereby preventing natural plant succession. In active volcanic areas, it is one of the first plants to make an appearance on recent lava flows. This small tree persists while natural vegetation develops and it replaces native plant species.
