Morphology

Hall's + honeysuckle

The construction 'Hall's honeysuckle' combines a possessive proper name with the noun 'honeysuckle', so a learner who knows both words will reasonably infer it denotes a type or variety of honeysuckle associated with someone or something called Hall. The pattern X's + plant name = a named cultivar/type is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common compositional pattern and does not require idiomatic knowledge.

Etymology

Hall's honeysuckle may come from a gardener named Hall who first grew or sold this form of honeysuckle. That's why the name now refers to a fast-growing 'variety' of Japanese honeysuckle.
