Morphology

genus + Radyera

The phrase simply names a taxonomic rank ('genus') followed by the proper name 'Radyera', so its meaning — the genus called Radyera — is directly derivable from the constituents. This noun-naming pattern is a transparent, cross-linguistic convention in biology and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.

Etymology

Genus Radyera may come from the last name of a plant scientist who first found or described these shrubs, because scientists often name plant groups after people. So genus Radyera simply means the 'group' of bush hibiscus plants given that name.
