Your local evidence lens
Separate evidence questions, never one approval badge
A genus split is not a placement verdict. Set a ZIP to read the local documented split.
1. Fire evidence and conditions
- Fire evidence
- Mixed evidence — location does not change the cited classification.
- Fire-performance conditions
- 1 condition stated in cited fire-evidence rows.
- Fire ecology context
- No section-reviewed fire-ecology context is normalized.
- Placement evidence
- 1 source placement record; source schemes remain separate.
- Evidence regions
- Caatinga around Patos, Paraíba, Brazil
- Maintenance
- No sourced horticultural maintenance assertion is normalized; fire-test conditions do not supply maintenance advice.
2. Why this plant is relevant here
- State distribution
- No state distribution is normalized.
- Native range
- No current cited or legacy state native range is normalized.
- Introduced / established
- 2 sourced range or established records; set a location to match them. This is not an invasive warning.
- USDA hardiness
- No hardiness value is normalized.
3. Legal, ecological, and broader status
- Legal-list status
- Set a location for an exact legal-list result; source silence is not clearance.
- Seed-list status
- Set a location to compare the separate state noxious-weed seed layer.
- Reported invasive here
- No ecological invasive report is normalized; that does not prove noninvasiveness.
- Broader regional context
- Aggregate AK, HI, and L48 evidence is shown only as regional context, never as an exact-state finding.
- Federal context
- Federal designations remain separate from state legal-list results.
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.

Native and introduced range evidence
These are exact U.S. botanical-area records from the cited range source. Native and introduced describe biogeographic relationship, not fire performance or planting approval. Doubtful and extinct rows stay visible but do not count as current presence.

The evidence
Mid-scale / conditional (1)
-
Comportamento do fogo em espécies nativas da Caatinga na região geográfica imediata de Patos-PB
“Moderadamente Alto”
Outdoor fuel-bed means: flame height 118.33 cm, combustibility index 4, spread 0.0069 m/s, and fire intensity 82.36 kcal m-1 s-1 (Moderadamente Alto severity).
