The evidence table keeps recommendation, support depth, and paper identity available together. If the avoid result rules out this heath, related plants offers cited same-form alternatives with independent evidence. The compact study label retains its single citation target without breaking the title into fragments. That separation keeps the selected paper visible without treating its title itself as an additional claim.
Highly flammable — 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.
18 cited rows from this source; its identity, lineage and tier are stated once.
