Morphology
Callitris + parlatorei
This is a Latin binomial: knowing 'Callitris' (a genus of evergreen trees) lets a learner infer the phrase refers to a species of that genus, but the specific epithet 'parlatorei' is a proper name/Latinized form with no lexical meaning to derive the detailed sense. Taxonomic naming is systematic across languages so the generic category is somewhat transparent, but the full, specific meaning (traits of the species) is not predictable from the parts.
Etymology
The name Callitris parlatorei may come from two parts. Callitris comes from old words for 'beautiful' and 'hair', a picture of the tree's thin, hair-like leaves, and parlatorei is 'named after' the plant scientist Parlatore who first wrote about this tree with fibrous inner bark.
