Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants is the source attached to swamp flax-lily, Dianella callicarpa. Issued in Victoria, the list assigns this shrub its fire-retardant category, explaining that it resists the first flame wave and may burn once dried. That source entry appears as on-list in the evidence table.
No second recommendation is present for swamp flax-lily. The record is therefore marked limited evidence, keeping the strength of the list's wording separate from the depth of the evidence pack. The page reports the citation rather than extending it to every planting condition.
Inspect the source table for the recorded verdict. Comparisons support a wider view, and the genus index keeps other entries in the genus nearby without merging their evidence.

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.
