Aloe remains on-list on the evidence table. The same page marks the record as limited evidence on that table, so the on-list result should be read with the published depth of support still visible. These statements are not claims about every species in the genus.
This is a genus-rank umbrella record, while the genus page organizes the records for individual species. The umbrella preserves the rank of the cited entry instead of lending its result to those species. The related plants section provides another comparison path without changing the limited-evidence label or widening this record's scope.

1. Fire evidence and conditions
Fire evidence
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.
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.
Fire in the Wildland-Urban Interface: Preparing a Firewis…: can be placed on a firewise plant list if available and suitable for the area [ufifas-fr151-local-list] (with its recommendation)
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.
33 cited rows from this source; its identity, lineage and tier are stated once.
