Morphology

Campanula + pyramidalis

The binomial name combines 'Campanula' (bellflower) and 'pyramidalis' (pyramid-shaped), so the meaning — a bellflower species with pyramidal clusters of flowers — is directly derivable from the constituents. Botanical Latin names are compositional and follow cross-linguistic naming conventions, so a learner who knows both parts would readily understand this MWE.

Etymology

Campanula pyramidalis comes from old Latin words that describe the plant's look: campanula means 'little bell' and pyramidalis means 'pyramid-shaped'. So the plant has many bell-shaped flowers that form a tall, pyramid-like spike.
