Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward taxonomic combination: 'genus' (a biological rank) plus the name 'Turreae', so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes the genus called Turreae. This compositional pattern (rank + taxon name) is cross-linguistically common and follows regular naming conventions, making the meaning directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Genus Turreae is a scientific plant name: genus means a 'group' of related plants, and Turreae may come from a person's name, so the group was 'named after' that person. That's why the name refers to a set of tropical trees and shrubs.
