Frankenia pauciflora appears in a named fire-resistant plant source. That reference establishes the lineage recorded in the evidence table for this species.

Its pack remains limited evidence. The extent of support is shown by the cited source set, without filling gaps with a test method, material condition, or performance value.

The plant also reads on-list. The recommendation can be traced to the listing evidence, maintaining separate paths for the sourced list status and the named lineage reference.

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.
