Podolepis lessonii is an erect annual herb native to Western Australia, belonging to the Asteraceae family. [4]
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:
It is found widely in Beard's South-West and Eremaean provinces, in many different habitats and soils. [7]
Podolepis is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Gnaphalieae within the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Australia and can be found in every state.
Nikolai Stepanovich Turczaninow was a Russian botanist and plant collector who first identified several genera, and many species, of plants.
Hardenbergia is a genus of three species of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae and is endemic to Australia. Plants in this genus are climbing or trailing herbs or subshrubs with pinnate leaves with one, three or five leaflets and groups of violet, white or pinkish flowers in pairs or small clusters in leaf axils. Species of Hardenbergia occur in all Australian states and in the Australian Capital Territory.
Leucophyta is a plant genus which is endemic to Australia. The genus was first formally described by botanist Robert Brown in 1818.
The flora of Western Australia comprises 10,551 published native vascular plant species and a further 1,131 unpublished species. They occur within 1,543 genera from 211 families; there are also 1,317 naturalised alien or invasive plant species more commonly known as weeds. There are an estimated 150,000 cryptogam species or nonvascular plants which include lichens, and fungi although only 1,786 species have been published, with 948 algae and 672 lichen the majority.

Panaetia, a genus in the Asteraceae (daisy) family, was first described by Henri Cassini in 1829 It is considered by Plants of the World Online and the Global Compositae Database to be a synonym of Podolepis Labil,. while GBIF states it as "doubtful". 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:
