Etymology
Arbuscula comes from the Latin root arbor 'tree' plus a small ending -cula 'little'. So it literally means 'little tree' and is used in scientific names to show a plant is tree-like but small or shrubby, and you can see the same root in the English word arboreal which means 'living in trees'.
