Morphology

genus + Aglaomorpha

The phrase combines a taxonomic noun 'genus' (a biological rank) with the proper name 'Aglaomorpha' (a group of Asian epiphytic ferns), so its meaning as 'the genus called Aglaomorpha' is directly derivable from the constituents. This follows standard scientific naming conventions common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.

Etymology

The name genus Aglaomorpha combines genus meaning 'group' and Aglaomorpha meaning 'beautiful form', so imagine a group of ferns with beautiful, large leaves. That's why the name fits this group of ferns that often grow on tree trunks and are popular as decoration.
