All Copperburrs is anchored by the fire-resistant plant source. The evidence table retains the full title for that selected lab lineage.

The record is limited evidence. A second look at the source rows keeps the evidence strength with the cited lineage, rather than presenting it as another result.

Sclerolaena is a genus-rank umbrella record. The cited evidence preserves the printed scope, so the lineage and limited-evidence label are not silently copied to every copperburr species. The short scene therefore keeps lineage, evidence strength, and rank independently inspectable for each reader.

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.
