Morphology

suksdorfia + Violaceae

This is a taxonomic binomial combining a genus name and a family name; knowing 'Suksdorfia' (a plant with round leaves and colorful flowers) and 'Violaceae' (the violet family) lets a learner infer it denotes a plant species in the violet family. Scientific names are compositional and follow regular cross-linguistic naming conventions rather than idiomatic usage, so the meaning is directly derivable from the parts.

Etymology

The plant name Suksdorfia violaceae is named for the plant collector Wilhelm Suksdorf. The first part, Suksdorfia, comes from his surname and the second part, violaceae, means 'violet', so the name tells you who it honors and that the plant has violet flowers.
