It was originally described in 1999 by Maria Arbo.[3] Morphologically it is similar to P. flammea and P. sarae, but differs in the number and length of inflorescence.[3] It is distylous with salmon or orange flowers.[4] It blooms between December and July.[2]

As of 2017, P. abairana is classified as an endangered species.[5]
