The epithet echinoblastus is derived from the Greek echinos (spine) and blastos (shoot), in reference to the bristly stipule bud of this species.

Drosera echinoblastus is widespread in the Hill River region, Coomallo and Mount Lesueur in Western Australia, but has a range that runs 100 km to the north and 200 km to the south of this area.

It grows in deep white sandy soils or beige clayey-sand soils between and under low shrubs on heathland. Drosera echinoblastus favours sites beside winter-wet streams, streamlets, depressions and watershed areas.
