Atriplex lindleyi opens on the fire-retardant plant-list row, the selected source lineage for flat-top saltbush. The record carries limited evidence in the evidence table, alongside 1 ecological invasive report kept as separate context.

Use range evidence for geographic material and related plants for comparison. The genus page locates lindleyi among other saltbush records without borrowing their source rows. That boundary leaves the plant-list citation, limited pack, and single invasive report with this species account; the evidence table retains the accepted source inside the named lindleyi species entry and nowhere beyond it.

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.

Native and introduced range evidence

These are exact U.S. botanical-area records from the cited range source. Native and introduced describe biogeographic relationship, not fire performance or planting approval. Doubtful and extinct rows stay visible but do not count as current presence.

The lossless worldwide derivative is retained once in the research corpus; object pages repeat only exact U.S. areas needed by the local lens. The JSON twin carries the same page assertions.

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.
