Morphology

genus + Lonas

This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase: 'genus' (a biological rank) + the proper name 'Lonas', so the meaning — the taxonomic group called Lonas — follows directly from the constituents. The 'genus + name' pattern is standard across languages and thus a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Genus Lonas comes from plant naming: genus means 'group' of related plants and Lonas is the specific name given to that group, probably from a person's or a local name. So Genus Lonas is the label for the group that includes the yellow ageratum.
