Use related plants for comparison around the quercifolius record. That route neither changes the cured condition nor adds rows to the limited source base. Keeping the cited study, condition, and evidence boundary separate makes the accepted scope explicit; the evidence table remains the place to inspect the source behind this species account within quercifolius' own accepted species boundary.

1. Fire evidence and conditions
Fire evidence
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.
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.
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.
“espécie de baixa inflamabilidade”
· score 0 (fire-intensity-kcal-m-1-s-1) · condition: cured · original source
The conclusion calls the species low-flammability and recommends it for preventive silviculture, vegetation barriers, and living fences; it did not sustain flame spread and had zero calculated fire intensity.
