Solanum esuriale traces its evidence lineage to this source row. The linked entry identifies “Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants” as the selected source for quena.
The evidence table records the species as on-list, while the underlying pack remains limited evidence. Its accepted row shows that source depth without implying another study or an unstated test condition.
The related plants route offers comparison outside the species profile. The other solanum records keep their own source histories and do not acquire the listing conclusion or selected evidence lineage documented for quena itself.

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.
