The plant list from Victoria provides the citation for common rasp-fern, Doodia australis. Its published category is fire-retardant: the plant resists an initial flame wave but may burn after drying. The directory carries that recommendation as on-list in the evidence table.
This is the species record's sole fire recommendation. Consequently, common rasp-fern remains limited evidence here. The label reflects how much cited support is present and does not rewrite the wording chosen by the source or create a new performance guarantee.
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.

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.
