Clematis flammula has an avoid result in the evidence table. Its source places this vine outside the suitable choices for the 25-metre maximum-risk zone.
The guide reaches that direction through a qualitative method that considers fire evidence, fuel structure, upkeep, origin, invasiveness, and expert fire-service experience. Species-specific care is part of the method's premise. With one cited direction, this page remains limited evidence.
The genus page keeps the wider taxonomic route, and related plants retains the existing alternatives. The evidence row carries the underlying wording and source edition for this named vine.
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.

Guía de pirojardinería: not suitable inside the 25-metre maximum-risk zone [girona-2020-iuf-25m-suitability] (with its avoid rating)
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.
Clematis flammula is rated “DESACONSEJADA” by the guide's qualitative IUF garden-suitability method. The method assumes species-specific care and integrates fire evidence with fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and expert fire-service experience.
