The epithet verrucata is derived from the Latin verrucatus (wart-like in appearance), in reference to the unique, discus-shaped seed, which bear distinctive, irregular, wart-like-outgrowths around the periphery of an otherwise ± smooth surfaced seed.

Drosera verrucata is known from Western Australia, with records common in the Albany to Manypeaks region.

It grows in clayey sand soils between and under low shrubs on heathland and low scrub land.
