Acacia acinacea is on-list, with the recommendation tied to its evidence row. That listing is kept as one selected conclusion for this species, distinct from the source used to establish its fire-related lineage.

The lineage comes from a resistant and retardant plant reference. Its bibliographic role is retained among the source entries, without converting the title into an unstated test result.

The overall pack remains limited evidence. The extent of accepted coverage is visible in the evidence table, where the listing and named reference remain separately traceable.

How to read this page

The status above is computed from the cited rows below: independent recommendations can support a fire-resistant result, an avoid row can produce keep-away, and disagreement stays visible as conflict. Placement notes preserve each source’s own scheme rather than translating unlike rules into one scale. This is evidence about a plant, not permission to plant it in every part of the defensible space; Zone 0 remains noncombustible.

The evidence

Grouped by what each source concluded. Primary evidence rated the plant itself (a lab, field program, or original curation); corroboration compiled or republished another source's rating and resolves to its root lineage.
