Dracanea is on-list according to the evidence table. That result is computed from the cited rows and remains the opening reader job.

The support level is limited evidence. In the source table, the label qualifies the available support without acting as another planting direction.

Dracanea also serves as a genus-rank umbrella record. The evidence rows retain their printed taxonomic scope, preventing the on-list conclusion from being silently assigned to each species. Direction, strength, and rank can therefore be inspected independently. The scene keeps those boundaries visible before any species-level choice is made.

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.
