Rumex crispus remains limited evidence in the cited rows. That source-depth boundary leads the curled dock profile rather than the broader status details elsewhere in the record.
The seed list contains thirteen rows for this species. Two ecological invasive reports are also recorded, with neither count treated as fire-performance support.
The evidence table preserves the fire lineage separately from both status channels. This arrangement lets readers inspect thirteen seed entries and two ecological reports without folding either total into the limited fire pack or extending them beyond curled dock itself here.

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 lossless worldwide derivative is retained once in the research corpus; object pages repeat only exact U.S. areas needed by the local lens. The JSON twin carries the same page assertions.
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.
