Western Silver Wattle is on-list in the evidence table. For Acacia decora, the retardant-plant source row is the accepted lineage, and the pack remains limited evidence.

The comparisons in related plants remain outside the source count for decora. The genus page offers a broader taxonomic path while preserving this western silver wattle boundary. The listing direction, one named plant-list citation, and limited support therefore stay together in this record; use the evidence table to inspect the accepted row behind that result inside decora's own named western silver wattle 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.
