This species was first formally described in 1857 by Carl Meissner who gave it the name Calycothrix drummondii in the Journal of the Proceeding of the Linnean Society, Botany from specimens collected by James Drummond. In 1987, Lyndley Craven transferred the species to the genus Calytrix as C. drummondii. The specific epithet (drummondii) honours the collector of the type specimens. ==Distribution and habitat==

Calytrix drummondii grows in sand in the Murchison River and Mingenew-Coorow districts in the Geraldton Sandplains bioregion of Western Australia. ==References==
