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.

Selective Shrub Management to Preserve Mediterranean Fore…: selectively control in fuel-management bands in mainland Portugal [portugal-selective-fuel-band-control] (with its avoid rating)
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.
Table 2 places this genus in the Control column. The authors describe the control group as heliophilous vegetation associated with fine fuels and traits linked to faster combustibility or greater flammability; this is a selective fuel-band management decision, not a global prohibition.
