Morphology

order + Andreaeales

This is a straightforward taxonomic noun phrase: 'order' (a taxonomic grouping) combined with the taxon name Andreaeales denotes the biological order containing the genus Andreaea. If a learner knows both constituents (including that Andreaeales is a taxon name), the meaning is directly compositional and follows regular noun + name patterns, so it is immediately understandable.

Etymology

Order Andreaeales comes from the moss name Andreaea and the ending -ales, which shows a group. So it simply means 'a group of related mosses'.
