The small cooba entry carries an on-list result, visible in the evidence table. Its selected authority is the cited fire-retardant plant guide. The absence of another chosen performance threshold leaves Acacia ligulata marked limited evidence, with the guide's judgment reported at its original scale. An independent experiment is absent from the selected pack.
A concise source record replaces the former repeated navigation prose. The related-plants section keeps comparisons available but separate, while the genus page places small cooba among its relatives without carrying this specific list entry over to them.

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.
