This species was first formally described in 1837 by Stephan Endlicher who gave it the name Candollea racemosa in the journal Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel from specimens collected near the Swan River at Fremantle.[3][4] In 1893, Ernest Friedrich Gilg changed the name to Hibbertia racemosa.[5] The specific epithet (racemosa) means "racemose".[6]

Hibbertia quadricolor grows on coastal dunes and plains in the Carnarvon, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain, Warren and Yalgoo biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[2]
