Morphology
Brugmansia + arborea
The binomial is compositionally built from a genus name (Brugmansia) and a descriptive epithet; if a learner recognises 'arborea' as related to 'arboreal'/'tree' they can derive 'tree-like Brugmansia' which matches the shrub/small tree meaning. However, the epithet is Latin and botanical nomenclature is specialist vocabulary not familiar to most B1 learners, so the relation is only partially accessible without prior exposure.
Etymology
Brugmansia arborea may come from a plant scientist's name, shown in Brugmansia, plus the Latin word arborea, which means 'tree-like'. So the name tells you this Brugmansia is the kind that grows like a small tree.
