Morphology
western + Australia + coral + pea
The phrase is a straightforward descriptive name formed from location (Western Australia) + color adjective (coral) + head noun (pea), so a learner who knows the parts can infer it refers to a coral‑colored pea plant from Western Australia. This is a common, non-idiomatic compounding pattern for plant names cross-linguistically, so the meaning is immediately derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Western Australia coral pea gets its name from being a fast-growing 'climbing plant' in Western Australia with bright coral-coloured, pea-shaped flowers that grow in tight clusters. So the name gives a simple picture: it tells you where the plant comes from and that its many small 'pea' flowers look like bits of coral as they climb over rocks and tree trunks.
