Morphology
Ulmus + sarniensis
The element 'Ulmus' is the Latin genus name for elms, so a learner who recognises that can infer this is a type of elm; this gives partial, predictable information. However, 'sarniensis' is a Latin epithet (not a common English word and not found in the provided dictionary) and does not transparently indicate the specific features of the variety, so understanding the precise meaning requires specialist/taxonomic knowledge.
Etymology
Ulmus sarniensis comes from Latin: Ulmus means 'elm' and sarniensis means 'from Sarnia', the old name for Guernsey, so the name literally says 'the elm from Guernsey'. That image helps you remember this variety as a tall elm with upright branches and broad leaves that often stands strong near the sea.
