This species was first formally described in 1852 by Nikolai Turczaninow who gave it the name Calyptrostegia drummondii in the Bulletin de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou from specimens collected by James Drummond. In 1988, Barbara Lynette Rye changed the name to Pimelea drummondii in the journal Nuytsia. The specific epithet (drummondii) honours the collector of the type specimens. Distribution and habitat
Pimelea drummondii grows in sandy soil on coastal sand dunes or in sandy soil over granite between Mount Gardner and Israelite Bay in near-coastal areas of the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of southern Western Australia. Conservation status
