Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants supplies the listing behind Acacia stenophylla. The source describes this shrub as fire-retardant: it resists the first flame wave but may burn after drying. That places Eumong on-list in the evidence table, not in a site-issued rating system.
This record has one cited recommendation, from Victoria, Australia. Its conclusion therefore remains limited evidence; the wording should not be stretched into a claim about every plant condition or setting. The source row and its recorded verdict are the useful boundaries of the entry.
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.

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.
