Both taxa are explicitly classified weakly flammable based on ignition frequency and time, despite high combustion intensity. Verdict map: author-classified weakly flammable = recommend. Component measurements and the high-intensity caveat are retained in each evidence row.

The complete one-page Portuguese conference paper is openly published and contains species-level methods and results. The 2020 English item repeats the same authors, taxa, sample counts, and values and is an edition/translation, not an independent source. Shared UFPR authors and epiradiator program place both rows in the existing ufpr-cortinas-tree.

Each row names the evidence channel this source supports. Range, status, hardiness, and fire-ecology context remain separate from fire classification.
