It is part of the genus Abuta, which consists of about 32 species native to tropical Central and South America.[2][1] Abuta colombiana is native to Colombia and northern Brazil,[2] and has been observed in Ecuador and Panama.[1] It was first published in Brittonia in 1938, described from two specimens collected from the Chocó Department in north Colombia.[3] It is closely related to Abuta imene but can be distinguished by the flower stamens.[3]
