The cited plant row describes Fragrant Saltbush as fire-resistant and says it will not burn under continued flame. That is the source's published direction for Rhagodia parabolica.
The record carries that single row into an on-list result. With no second directional source, it stays limited evidence; the continued-flame wording is preserved as a source statement rather than expanded into a site-authored test claim.
The record also stores a separate accepted name while keeping its current scientific name and context in Victoria. The evidence table retains the full citation, the source row keeps its wording, and related plants provides the existing comparison path.

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.
