trichloris sp. begins with the field flammability measurement source. The record is limited evidence on its evidence table. It is also a genus-rank umbrella record, keeping the selected lab lineage at the rank stated by the source.

The cited material remains available without turning one lineage into a finding for every Trichloris species. The genus picker holds the individual records. When a species-level decision is needed, the umbrella rows provide context rather than a substitute for evidence on that species page. The limited pack does not support a broader species claim.

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.
