The species was first formally described by botanist Munro Briggs Scott in 1914.[2][3] The specific epithet, pauciflora, is derived from the Latin words, paucus (pauci-), meaning "few", and flos (floris) meaning "flower" to give a compound Botanical Latin adjective which describes this Pultenaea as "few-flowered" or as "having few flowers".[6][7]
