Morphology
Brugmansia + sanguinea
The name is compositional: Brugmansia is the plant genus and the epithet 'sanguinea' (Latin) denotes a blood‑red colour, so a speaker who knows both parts can infer a red‑flowered Brugmansia. However, 'sanguinea' is a Latin/technical epithet not attested in the learner dictionary and the precise botanical shade and usage are specialist, so the relation is only partially transparent to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Brugmansia sanguinea is named after a scientist and a Latin word: Brugmansia comes from the name Brugmans and sanguinea means 'blood-red'. The name fits because the shrub has very large, hanging orange-red flowers.
