coontie has limited evidence in the source record. The green condition is kept under test conditions, with its setting fully intact. This page holds these selected details at genus rank in an umbrella, without assigning them to every Zamia species during direct source review.
The complete evidence table preserves support depth, condition, and genus scope in one reviewable place. The genus picker separates individual records for species-level decisions. That boundary leaves the limited pack and green condition on this umbrella instead of extending either detail through the shared coontie name.

1. Fire evidence and conditions
Fire evidence
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.
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.
Conditions in the fire evidence
These describe tested or rated plant material. They are not horticultural maintenance instructions.
Placement rules below use each source's own distances or named zones, tied to its rating.
They are not interchangeable with the directory's current Zone 0 guidance.

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.
