Rhagodia crassifolia is anchored by the selected source. That entry belongs to the “Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants” lineage, leads the fleshy saltbush profile, and can be inspected at its own evidence row.

The species is on-list in the evidence table, while its accepted source depth is limited evidence. The cited record keeps the listing conclusion and evidence-depth label visible without claiming a second test or source lineage.

The related plants section offers comparison beyond this shrub. Those neighboring entries do not inherit its on-list conclusion, the selected source lineage, or the limited depth recorded for fleshy saltbush.

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.
