Panaetia tepperi (F.Muell.) 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:

  1. the outer florets are all tubular; and
  2. the cypselas are minutely tuberculate and lack long finger-like papillae.[7]

The genus is named for the stoic philosopher, Panaetius of Rhodes.[2]
