Claytonia perfoliata (Miner’s lettuce) is listed by [Fire and Emergency New Zealand](https://www.checkitsalright.nz/reduce-your-risk/low-flammability-plants) as a herbaceous plant. This record preserves the source's unselected species identity. No named cultivar, mature dimensions or hardiness values are inferred from its directory entry.
## New Zealand — FENZ Very low flammability
The main directory assigns source entry 105 the Very low flammability band. This directory includes the full range of bands; inclusion alone is not a planting recommendation. This lower-band association remains conditional on the actual plant, site and maintenance.
Higher bands mean more flammable, unlike Idaho's numerical resistance scores. FENZ bases the directory on plant-flammability research and cautions that condition and management affect results; this does not establish separate testing of every cultivar. Remove dead material, water appropriately and maintain breaks in vegetation. No plant is fireproof. Other regional ratings and any New Zealand origin or weed context remain separate.
[UC Integrated Pest Management](https://ipm.ucanr.edu/weeds-identification-gallery/miners-lettuce/) identifies Claytonia perfoliata as a winter annual. The source entry does not select a subspecies or establish edible-use suitability for every site.
