Morphology

genus + Marattia

This phrase is a straightforward taxonomic composition: the noun 'genus' combined with the proper name 'Marattia' denotes the biological genus called Marattia. If a learner knows 'genus' (a rank grouping related species) and 'Marattia' (the fern taxon), the overall meaning is directly derivable and follows a common, cross-linguistic naming pattern.

Etymology

Genus Marattia names a group of large ferns whose spore cases are joined into two neat rows along each leaf. Picture a long fern frond with two lines of tiny dots — that clear image helps you remember it means 'a genus of ferns with spore cases fused in two rows'.
