Use related plants to compare this result with other cited forms. The genus page supplies taxonomic context while leaving the implexa evidence boundary intact. That separation matters here: the listing, limited pack, and named source belong to this record, rather than to every member gathered under the broader genus route. Revisit the evidence table to keep that boundary visible.

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.
Where its sources say to plant it
Placement rules below use each source's own distances or named zones, tied to its rating.
They are not interchangeable with the directory's current Zone 0 guidance.

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.
9 cited rows from this source; its identity, lineage and tier are stated once.
