The epithet mannii honours Phill Mann (1951-2014), who first discovered this species growing alongside the Albany Highway.

Drosera mannii is known from Western Australia, with records from Gleneagle, Boulder Rock and towards Jarrahdale.

Drosera mannii grows at scattered locations in Jarrah forest on loam soils; peaty sand on winter-wet watersheds; and in loamy sand on the aprons of granite outcrops. At one location, it has been found growing in the peaty, skeletal soils held in the cracks and small hollows of a solid, lateritic rock pavement of a winter-wet creek.
