Morphology
Prunus + subhirtella
This is a scientific Latin binomial: while a learner who knows 'Prunus' might infer it is a tree/shrub genus, the species epithet 'subhirtella' is not an ordinary English word and does not transparently convey the specific meaning (a particular ornamental, rose‑pink‑flowered tree). Botanical Latin names are specialized and not compositionally interpretable by average B1 learners, so the overall meaning cannot be derived from the parts.
Etymology
Prunus subhirtella is a Latin plant name that paints a small picture: Prunus is the cherry/plum group and subhirtella means 'slightly hairy', a note about the tree's tiny, soft buds and branches. So the name helps you remember it is a small, ornamental cherry tree with delicate pink flowers.
