The related plants section provides comparison without adding rows to the spinescens pack. This division keeps the plant-list source, evidence limitation, and result attached to hedge saltbush rather than to every nearby form. The evidence table holds the accepted basis, and the species account remains the boundary for those facts. The wording does not extend the single cited lineage beyond this entry.

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.
37 cited rows from this source; its identity, lineage and tier are stated once.
