Morphology
Campanula + persicifolia
This is a scientific Latin binomial: while 'Campanula' signals a bellflower, the second element 'persicifolia' is a technical Latin epithet (not a common English word) and the specific species sense (a particular perennial bellflower with certain leaf/flower traits) is specialised and not recoverable by a B1 learner. Botanical names are language-specific and require domain knowledge, so the overall meaning is not derivable from the listed constituents.
Etymology
Campanula persicifolia comes from old Latin words that describe the plant: Campanula means 'little bell' and persicifolia means 'peach-leaved'. That picture of tiny bell-shaped flowers and leaves like a peach helps explain why this name fits the blue or white bellflower.
