Asteriscus maritimus is on-list in the evidence table. Its one directional source rates the plant very highly recommended under a qualitative garden-suitability method. The guide treats it as suitable both inside and outside the 25-metre maximum-risk zone.
The method combines fire evidence with fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and expert fire-service experience. Because the record has a single direction, it remains limited evidence; the source row retains that scope.
One ecological introduced-established report is kept outside the fire tally. related plants preserve the existing comparison route, and the evidence table remains the source of the on-list result.

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.
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.

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.
Asteriscus maritimus is rated “MUY RECOMENDADA” by the guide's qualitative IUF garden-suitability method. The method assumes species-specific care and integrates fire evidence with fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and expert fire-service experience.
