Morphology
New + Zealand + mountain + pine
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'New Zealand' indicates origin, 'mountain' specifies habitat or form, and 'pine' names the tree/shrub, so the overall meaning — a pine from New Zealand mountain areas — is directly derivable from the parts. This follows ordinary English noun modification patterns (place + modifier + head noun) and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
New Zealand mountain pine got its name because people in New Zealand found a bush high on the mountain with long, thin leaves like a pine. So the name helps you remember that it is a 'shrub' with 'needle-like leaves' that grows in mountain areas of New Zealand.
