Dianella tarda is anchored by the accepted retardant-plant citation, its selected source lineage. On the evidence table, the record is limited evidence; that accepted citation yields on-list.

The comparisons remain under related plants. The genus page situates tarda among other flax-lily records but does not transfer their evidence into this pack. That organization keeps the cited plant list, limited support, and computed direction specific to tarda; the evidence table is the direct route for checking the source behind this named species account and nowhere beyond the named tarda species entry.

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.
