Morphology
Rudbeckia + laciniata + hortensia
This is a botanical Latin name combining a genus (Rudbeckia) and additional cultivar/descriptor elements; a learner who knows the constituents would likely infer it refers to a type of flowering plant but would not be able to derive the specific horticultural properties (very tall, branching, much-doubled yellow heads) from the parts. The term is partly compositional at the level of ‘a plant’ but relies on specialized/Latin descriptors and naming conventions, so full meaning is not predictable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
Rudbeckia laciniata hortensia is like a small picture: Rudbeckia remembers a plant scientist, laciniata means 'cut' because its leaves look divided, and hortensia points to the 'garden'. So the name helps you remember a tall garden flower with divided leaves and big, showy yellow blooms used for decoration.
