Morphology
Eriophyllum + lanatum
This is a scientific binomial name rather than a compositional English phrase: knowing 'Eriophyllum' (a plant genus) does not give a B1 learner the specific meaning of the species epithet, and 'lanatum' is not an English word in the provided data. Botanical Latin names function as proper nouns and rely on specialist/Latin knowledge, so the overall meaning is not derivable from the constituent words by an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Eriophyllum lanatum comes from old Greek and Latin: erio and phyllum mean 'wool' and 'leaf', and lanatum means 'woolly'. That's why the name describes this grey, soft plant with wool-like leaves and bright yellow flowers.
