Etymology: "This species is named after the town-site of Bindoon (Latitude 31° 23’ S, Longitude 116° 06’ E). Bindoon was gazetted in 1953, but the name has been in use in this area for over 150 years. It is derived from the name given by an early settler, Mr William Locke Brockman, to the property he surveyed in 1843. Bindoon is an Aboriginal name, thought to mean ‘place where yams grow’ (fide Landgate 2017). The epithet is formed as a noun in apposition."
