Morphology
Hypericum + pyramidatum
This is a botanical Latin binomial: Hypericum (the genus) plus the epithet pyramidatum, which describes a pyramidal arrangement of flowers. If a learner recognises pyramidatum as related to English 'pyramid/pyramidal' and understands botanical naming conventions, the meaning is largely compositional, but because the epithet is Latin and not a common English word a typical B1 learner would not reliably parse it without prior exposure.
Etymology
Hypericum pyramidatum may come from an old name for 'St. John's wort' and a word meaning 'pyramid-shaped'. The part Hypericum links the plant to 'St. John's wort' and pyramidatum describes how its many yellow, star-shaped flowers grow in a narrow, pyramid-like group, so the name helps you imagine the shrub and its blooms.
