Panaetia lessonii Cass.

Jeanes Panaetia, a genus in the Asteraceae (daisy) family, was first described by Henri Cassini in 1829[1][2] It is considered by Plants of the World Online and the Global Compositae Database to be a synonym of Podolepis Labil,.

[3][4] while GBIF states it as "doubtful".

[5] However, in 2021, the Western Australian Herbarium[6] accepted Jeffery Jeanes new circumscription of the genus,[7] together with two species of Panaetia as being found in Western Australia: Panaetia lessonii,[8] and Panaetia tepperi.

[9] Jeanes distinguished Panaetia from the genera, Podolepis, Siemssenia and Walshia, using the following characters: The genus is named for the stoic philosopher, Panaetius of Rhodes.
