Morphology

Viburnum + recognitum

This is a Latin binomial taxonomic name functioning as a conventional label for a species rather than a compositional English phrase. Knowing 'Viburnum' only gives the learner a general shrub category and 'recognitum' is not an English word (and even if seen as a cognate, it does not yield the specific meaning 'northern arrowwood'), so the species meaning cannot be derived from the parts.

Etymology

Viburnum recognitum may come from Latin: Viburnum is the name for a group of shrubs and recognitum means 'recognized' or 'known'. So the name gives a simple image, a 'recognized' viburnum, which helps you remember this plant, the northern arrowwood.
