Morphology

Ulmus + campestris + sarniensis

This is a scientific Latin plant name in the standard genus + epithets format. A learner who knows 'Ulmus' (the elm genus) can infer it is a kind of elm, but the Latin epithets 'campestris' and 'sarniensis' are not transparent to a B1 learner and do not convey the specific cultivar traits (upright branches, broader leaves). Because the genus part is clear but the descriptive details are not derivable from the epithets, the expression is only partially transparent.

Etymology

Ulmus campestris sarniensis comes from Latin words: Ulmus means 'elm', campestris means 'of the fields', and sarniensis means 'from Sarnia', the old name for the island of Jersey. So the name gives a simple picture of an elm from the fields or Jersey, which helps you remember this special English elm grown in gardens.
