Morphology
Tarrietia + argyrodendron
This is a scientific Latin binomial (a proper name) rather than a compositional English phrase, and one constituent ('argyrodendron') is not a recognizable English word. Even if the genus name signals 'timber tree', the overall species name requires specialized botanical knowledge or knowledge of Greek/Latin roots, so a B1 learner who only knows the parts would not reliably infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Tarrietia argyrodendron may come from Greek parts: argyro- meaning 'silver' and -dendron meaning 'tree'. The name gives a clear image of a pale, silvery tree, which fits this large Australian timber tree used for furniture.
