Zinnia is on-list in the evidence table. The evidence table keeps the cited row and its direction together, while limited-evidence names the depth label carried by this record. The umbrella scope matters: this page records Zinnia at genus rank rather than presenting a species-level scene.

Read the cited evidence for the on-list result, then return to the evidence table when checking the lineage attached to it. Both links stay on this genus-rank record, so the evidence direction and the limited-evidence label remain attached to the same scope.

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.
