[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:
