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