Morphology

Larix + siberica

The name is a binomial scientific name composed transparently: 'Larix' identifies the larch genus and 'siberica' is a Latin adjectival form indicating origin (Siberia), so the compound simply denotes the Siberian larch. Scientific naming conventions (genus + origin/adjective) are regular and compositional, making the meaning derivable for learners who know the constituents (or can relate 'siberica' to 'Siberia').

Etymology

The name Larix siberica comes from Latin: Larix is the old word for the 'larch' tree and siberica means 'from Siberia'. So the name gives a simple picture of a larch tree from Siberia, which helps you remember it is the Siberian larch.
