Einadia nutans starts from the fire-resistant plant-list entry, its accepted source lineage. The pack is limited evidence in the evidence table, where that row produces an on-list direction.

The related plants section provides comparison at species rank. Its genus page organizes other records in Einadia, without adding their sources to nutans. That boundary keeps the plant-list citation, limited support, and computed result within this entry; return to the evidence table for the accepted row rather than treating genus proximity as more evidence inside the named nutans species entry and nowhere else.

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.
