All Twin-leaf plants begins with Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants, the selected laboratory lineage for this record. Zygophyllum remains limited evidence on the cited rows, so the single named source is not presented as a broad pack.

This is a genus-rank umbrella record, preserving the taxonomic level named by the source. Its selected facts stop at that rank instead of flowing to every Twin-leaf species. The scope is visible again in the evidence table, and the source rows remain the authority for the laboratory lineage and evidence-depth label on this page.

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.
