Coprosma hirtella begins with the cited fire-resistant plant list, its selected source lineage. The evidence table identifies a limited evidence pack and an on-list direction for hirtella.

Use related plants for comparison around hirtella. The genus page provides a broader index for Coprosma, without adding another species' source rows. This separation keeps the plant-list citation, evidence limitation, and result with the named record; the evidence table remains the place to inspect the accepted basis for the hirtella entry itself. That exact accepted combination remains specific to this species account alone.

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.
