Strelitziaceae family

Strelitziaceae Hutch. is an accepted plant family. [Kew](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77126725-1) recognizes three genera within it: Strelitzia, Ravenala and Phenakospermum. This family-rank record preserves that independently recognized taxon. No genus, species, cultivar, nursery stock, common mature size, hardiness or water need is selected here; family members have different forms and care requirements. ## Queensland — qualified printed family-name context The [Queensland bushfire-resilient building guidance](https://www.qra.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-12/0576_qra_bushfire_guideline_v10_pages_print.pdf), Appendix E, page 135, prints Strelitziacae hutch as a separate bullet under Shrubs. The accepted family name and its Hutch. author citation provide a qualified nomenclatural interpretation of that family-like label. The next two source bullets separately print Strelitzia banks and Srelizia nicolai. Those genus and species contexts remain separate. The family entry is not replaced by an individually identified bird-of-paradise species or collapsed into the genus entry. This association preserves only the published family-name context. Whether the compiler intended every family member, a local horticultural subset or another biological circumscription remains unresolved. The wording does not authenticate planting material, establish an independent whole-family fire-performance result, or qualify every genus, species or cultivar. The source's Shrubs heading is retained as its organizational context; one shrubby growth habit is not assigned to the entire family. Appendix E, page 134, presents its lists as general guidance, calls for independent research into local species suitability and explains that plants can burn under extreme heat or flame. Identify the actual member and appropriate local placement before relying on the qualified source-name association. Choose spacing, moisture, pruning and dead-material removal for that identified plant and site. Keep source regions and their conditions separate. No plant is fireproof.
