Panaetia
Genus of plants in the daisy family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panaetia, a genus in the Asteraceae (daisy) family, was first described by Henri Cassini in 1829[2][3] In 2021, the Western Australian Herbarium[4] accepted Jeffery Jeanes new circumscription of the genus,[5] together with two species of Panaetia as being found in Western Australia: Panaetia lessonii,[6] and Panaetia tepperi.[7] Jeanes 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.[5]
