The epithet pycnoblasta is from the Greek pycnos (densely packed) and blastos (bud), in reference to the tightly packed stipular bud at the centre of the leafy rosette.

Drosera pycnoblasta is known from Western Australia, with records from Pingelly, Tammin, Goomalling, west of Hatter Hill, and east and south of Lake King.

It grows in clayey, white sand soils over laterite gravels; in white silica sands, sometimes with a little laterite gravel intrusion; and in deep yellow sand soils. All habitats are in low, open heath.
