Its fire lineage comes from Valette's 1990 source, Inflammabilités des espèces forestières méditerranéennes (Valette 1990). The study establishes the named forest-species flammability lineage within this compact pack; it does not expand the other selected conclusions for this plant record.
Same-form alternatives are cited under related plants. They offer comparison choices without transferring this plant's avoid recommendation or limited source pack to another grass record.
Highly flammable — location does not change the cited classification.

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.
7 cited rows from this source; its identity, lineage and tier are stated once.
