Calycotome intermedia carries an avoid recommendation. Its pack remains limited evidence in the evidence table, and Tlemcen: fire risk with Cistus supplies the selected laboratory lineage.

The reported condition is green on performance conditions. Same-form alternatives are cited under related plants, providing comparison without changing the intermedia direction. This layout separates the source from Tlemcen, test condition, limited pack, and alternative set; return to the evidence table for the row from which the avoid result is computed. The intermedia record alone carries this exact combination of accepted facts, conditions, and comparisons.

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.

Conditions in the fire evidence

These describe tested or rated plant material. They are not horticultural maintenance instructions.

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.
