Podolepis lessonii is an erect annual herb native to Western Australia, belonging to the Asteraceae family.[4]
Taxonomy
The species was first described in 1829 as Panaetia lessonii by the French botanist, Henri Cassini.[1][5] The species epithet, lessonii, honours Monsieur Lesson who collected a specimen from King George Sound in 1826.[5] The species was assigned to the genus, Podolepis, in 1867 by George Bentham.[1][2] The name currently accepted by the Western Australian Herbarium is Panaetia lessonii Cass., because of the studies of Jeffrey Jeanes,[6][7] who distinguished Panaetia from the genera, Podolepis, Siemssenia and Walshia, using the following characters:
- the outer florets are all tubular; and
- the cypselas are minutely tuberculate and lack long finger-like papillae.[7]
Distribution and habitat
It is found widely in Beard's South-West and Eremaean provinces, in many different habitats and soils.[7]
