... it might not take over the jungle but maybe destroy (overgrow ... or whatever) all native or even endemic neps because it can better adapt though it isn't from there. So ... this is a very dangerous game.


edit: after thinking a while of this I got some other ideas. Maybe you are from penang and have some neoguinensis growing from papua. They'll grow fine in ths climate. This is a male plant and some insects will spread the pollen on some albomarginatas. This cross might be very strong and all pure albos might be gone in a while. Just an example.
