Flinders Range Wattle is on-list in the evidence table, the computed direction for Acacia iteaphylla. The pack is limited evidence and points to the cited fire-retardant plant source as its accepted lineage.

At species rank, related plants provides the comparison route. The genus page places iteaphylla in a wider index while leaving every other member's source rows outside this pack. That separation makes the evidence boundary plain for Flinders Range Wattle: the listing, source citation, and limitation can all be checked in the evidence table without being enlarged by genus context.

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.
