Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants supplies the cited source for Carpobrotus glaucescens. It gives an on-list placement in the corresponding evidence row, while the record remains limited evidence because no additional selected performance line is present. The listing is attributed to its source rather than enlarged into an uncited claim about bluish pigface. No test threshold is added.
The same source table anchors the page's conclusion. The related-plants section keeps comparison options nearby, and the genus page offers broader context without carrying this particular list judgment across the rest of Carpobrotus.

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.
