Erysimum is a genus-rank umbrella record. At that rank, limited evidence is recorded in the cited rows, alongside 1 seed-list row under the seed-list. The seed designation remains distinct from the fire evidence and does not change the record's taxonomic scope.
The source table keeps support depth, seed material, and genus rank available for separate review. The genus picker holds the individual records needed for a species decision. This structure uses the umbrella as context while leaving a narrower claim to evidence published for that species. That boundary is part of the citation.

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.
