Acacia brachybotrya is recorded on-list in the evidence table. Its recommendation remains attached to the cited listing for this species rather than being inferred from the title of another source.

The evidence designation is limited evidence. That narrow scope is documented by the collected rows, which provide the available basis for this grey mulga record.

A fire-resistant plant source supplies the selected lineage. The named reference and its role can be checked in the source table, apart from the listing that carries the recommendation.

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.
