Morphology
Campanula + glomerata
This is a Latin binomial combining 'Campanula' (a bellflower) with an adjectival epithet 'glomerata' meaning 'clustered' or 'in dense clusters', so the species name literally describes a clustered bellflower and the overall meaning is compositionally derivable from its parts. Note that 'glomerata' is a Latin botanical epithet and often absent from learner dictionaries (so typical B1 learners may not know it), but if a learner does know the constituent meanings the MWE is transparent.
Etymology
Campanula glomerata comes from Latin words: campanula means 'little bell' because each flower looks like a small bell, and glomerata means 'clustered', for the tight bunches of blooms. So the name helps you picture the plant as many 'little bells' growing together.
