Alyxia buxifolia receives its selected lineage from a fire-resistant plant document. The citation behind that reference is carried into the evidence rows for sea box.

The accepted material remains limited evidence. That designation follows the coverage shown in the current source pack, which does not state a test condition or a numerical performance result here.

Sea box also reads on-list in the collected recommendations. The recommendation has a separate traceable basis in the listing entry, rather than being inferred from the title used for lineage.

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.
