Acacia cardiophylla is on-list in the evidence table. The Wyalong wattle entry is also limited evidence and names the cited resistant-plant list as its accepted source lineage.

The related plants section offers a species-level comparison. The broader navigation runs through the genus page, which indexes other records in Acacia, without extending their evidence to cardiophylla. This division makes the source boundary readable: the listing direction, limited pack, and cited plant list all belong to the Wyalong wattle record, as detailed in the evidence table inside cardiophylla's own accepted species account.

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.
