Morphology
Hibiscus + moschatus
This is a biological binomial composed of the genus name 'Hibiscus' plus a specific epithet; the phrase denotes a particular species or kind of hibiscus rather than an idiomatic meaning. While the Latin epithet 'moschatus' may be unfamiliar and supply extra descriptive nuance, the overall meaning 'a type of hibiscus' is directly derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Hibiscus moschatus combines the garden flower name Hibiscus and the word moschatus, which means 'musk-scented'. So the name describes a hibiscus-like bush with a light musk smell, which helps you remember what the plant looks and smells like.
