Psoralea pinnata is closely similar to P. affinis and P. ivumba, all reseeders and colonial. The three species can however be separated as follows: P. pinnata is a large single stemmed, multi-branched shrub to small tree up to 5 m tall, vs P. affinis which is an erect single or multi-stemmed less-branched shrub or tree up to 3 m tall and P. ivumba which is an erect, virgate pseudo-racemose shrub up to 2.5 m tall. It also has (5)7-9-foliolate, villoso-pubescent congested leaves with the three uppermost leaflets pinnately inserted vs (5)7-9(11)-foliolate, sparsely hairy spreading leaves with the three uppermost leaflets digitately inserted in P. affinis and 7-11 -foliolate, filiform, spreading leaves with the three uppermost leaflets also digitately inserted in P. ivumba. Psoralea pinnata has subulate erect to appressed persistent stipules that become woody when leaves are shed vs deltoid, spreading to recurved, twisted, callose stipules in P. affinis and narrowly triangular stipules that are fused for half their length on the stalked ridge overlapping the flanges in P. ivumba. Psoralea pinnata has sessile or sub-sessile pale mauve or pale blue weakly scented or odourless flowers borne in pseudo-spicate or pseudocapitate inflorescences and hidden within the subtending leaves vs dark blue to purple scented, pseudo-spicate flowers in P. affinis and a compact, stalked, clustered, intensely sweet-scented bright blue flowers borne at the apex of short flowering shoots in pseudo-capitate inflorescences with very much broader standard, and 6-15 mm long peduncles in P. ivumba. Psoralea pinnata also has yellowish green, white (mostly) and black-haired calyces vs calyces nigro-hirsute externally in P. affinis and shaggy white-haired calyces in P. ivumba.

Psoralea pinnata is distributed across the Cape Peninsula across to the Kogelberg in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. There are records of this species occurring on St. Helena Island, but it is uncertain whether it is an adventive or naturally occurring. The species has naturalised in Australia and New Zealand.
