you have to get the decomposition fumes a bit hotter before they ignite.

People will die long before the temperature reaches the combustion point. So what?

At what temperature?

Sure. If set aflame. Flora can be like that. Let them dry out and then set them afire.

I had a southern wax myrtle in my yard. It died a few years ago due to extreme temperatures and drought. It did not combust.

You must be reading and getting your links from the National Enquirer.

Both statements are bullshit. Ray Bradbury admitted using that number in the title for his book "because it sounded good". There's no fact behind it whatever.

. I would expect bushes and trees to have a higher ignition temperature.

Do a search on " autoignition temperature ". Paper varies too much to get a precise number for the autoignition temp. But 451 is in the range.
