Morphology
Guevina + heterophylla
This is a technical botanical Latin binomial: 'Guevina' is a genus name and 'heterophylla' is a Latin/Greek-form epithet not listed in the provided dictionary entry, so a B1 learner would not reliably derive the shrub-with-coral-red-fruit meaning from the parts. Even if someone recognised classical roots ('hetero-' = different, '-phylla' = leaves), that would at best suggest a leaf trait and would not yield the specific species description, making the name effectively non-compositional for typical learners.
Etymology
Guevina heterophylla helps you picture the plant: Guevina is the group name and heterophylla comes from words meaning 'different' and 'leaf', because the shrub often has leaves of more than one shape. So, the name fits this Chilean shrub that makes coral-red fruit with an edible seed like a hazelnut.
