Morphology
Ulmus + campestris + wheatleyi
This is a Latin botanical trinomial rather than a compositional English phrase: a learner who knows 'Ulmus' may suspect a connection to elms, but 'campestris' and 'wheatleyi' are Latin/adjectival and eponymic elements that a B1 learner will not be able to interpret. Recognizing it as a named variety requires knowledge of scientific naming conventions or the specific Latin/eponym meanings, so the overall sense is not derivable from the constituent words alone.
Etymology
The name Ulmus campestris wheatleyi is a Latin plant name: Ulmus means 'elm', campestris means 'from the fields', and wheatleyi shows it was named after a person or place called 'Wheatley'. So the name shows it is a particular field elm linked to Wheatley, and that matches it being a variety with upright branches and broader leaves.
