Atriplex vesicaria is carried by a named resistant-plant reference. That source establishes the selected lineage and is catalogued in the evidence table for bladder saltbush.

The scene remains limited evidence, matching the narrow accepted source set. Its boundaries stay visible in the supporting rows, rather than being filled with unspecified performance claims.

One ecological invasive report is also part of the record. It remains a separate ecological signal beside the fire lineage, while the cited pack shows exactly what supports the current profile.

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.
