| Comment | |
| Etymology | The specific epithet has been coined by combining the names of the Bungalbin sandplain (WA) and Yellabinna Dunefield (SA; Copley and Kemper 1992), the land systems from which almost all specimens of L. bungabinna have been collected. The authors treat the name as a noun in apposition. |
