Acacia fimbriata is on-list in the evidence table. The fringed wattle record has limited evidence, with the fire-resistant planting source serving as its selected lineage.

The other cited forms can be compared under related plants. The genus page then supplies the surrounding index for Acacia, without making those neighboring rows evidence for fimbriata. This order keeps the computed listing first, the limited pack explicit, and the plant-list citation close at hand; the evidence table retains the source-level boundary for the species within fimbriata's named species entry and nowhere beyond it.

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.
