Morphology

Geum + alleppicum + strictum

This is a Latin scientific name used as an arbitrary taxonomic label rather than a compositional English phrase. Two constituents are not recognisable English words and even if a learner knows 'Geum' as a plant genus, they would not be able to derive the specific sense 'a subspecies of yellow avens' from the parts, so the meaning is not predictable from the constituents.

Etymology

Geum alleppicum strictum: The name uses simple plant words—Geum is the kind of plant called an avens, alleppicum means 'from Aleppo', and strictum means 'upright' in Latin, so the name paints a picture of an erect avens linked to the Aleppo area with straight stems and bright yellow flowers.
