Morphology

Crataegus + pedicellata

The binomial structure (genus + species) makes clear that this is a kind of Crataegus, so a learner who knows 'Crataegus' can infer it refers to a hawthorn species. However, 'pedicellata' is a Latin taxonomic epithet not found in the dictionary and its descriptive sense (botanical detail) is not predictable to a B1 learner, so the full meaning is only partially recoverable.

Etymology

Crataegus pedicellata may come from old Greek and Latin words. The first part, Crataegus, was an old name for 'hawthorn' and points to 'strong wood', and pedicellata means 'with little stalks', so the name describes a hawthorn with small stalks that hold its clusters of flowers and red fruit.
