Setaria is a genus-rank umbrella record on the evidence table. That rank keeps the laboratory source attached to the object it names instead of distributing the finding across every Setaria species. The related plants section provides a comparison route while leaving the source lineage, limited-evidence label, and umbrella scope intact.

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.
Appendix S5 mean across six grass-form replicates for Setaria sp.: MT 543 °C; BL 41.7 cm; BT 67 s; BR 0.64 cm/s; BB 6.00 on the six-category interval scale. Fresh field samples were preheated for 2 min at 150 °C and exposed to the blowtorch for 10 s. The paper gives no directional FL threshold.
