Morphology

guinea + gold + vine

A learner who knows 'gold' and 'vine' can reasonably infer this refers to a vine with golden/yellow flowers, so part of the meaning is compositional. However, 'guinea' is ambiguous (coin vs. a place name like New Guinea) and the precise botanical reference to Australasian species is not fully predictable from the words alone, so prior exposure would help.

Etymology

Guinea gold vine may come from the island 'New Guinea', with guinea for the place, gold for its bright yellow flowers, and vine because it climbs. So the name helps you remember it is a climbing plant with large golden blooms.
