Twistedstalk is on-list in the evidence record. The accompanying limited evidence label states the depth of support behind that position. The cited material is held at genus rank in an umbrella record.

A separate look at the source rows keeps recommendation and taxonomic scope available together. The genus picker distinguishes individual species records for decisions requiring narrower evidence. This prevents the umbrella's on-list result from following the twistedstalk name onto a narrower page without its own support. The evidence-depth description stays visible throughout that narrower comparison beside its on-list result.

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.
