Escabiosa remains on-list on the evidence table. The page also displays a limited evidence label on the cited rows, keeping the small support base visible beside the computed direction. The label describes evidence depth; it does not replace the result.
Scabiosa is a genus-rank umbrella record for these selected facts. Its on-list direction does not flow to every species with the same genus name. A final view of the source table keeps the taxonomic scope, computed result, and limited-evidence boundary connected to the entry that actually carries them in this directory.

1. Fire evidence and conditions
Fire evidence
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.
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.
Where its sources say to plant it
Placement rules below use each source's own distances or named zones, tied to its rating.
They are not interchangeable with the directory's current Zone 0 guidance.

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.
Scabiosa spp. is rated “RECOMENDADA” by the guide's qualitative IUF garden-suitability method. The method assumes species-specific care and integrates fire evidence with fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and expert fire-service experience.
