Morphology

genus + Deparia

This is a compositional taxonomic noun phrase: 'genus' combined with the proper name 'Deparia' yields the meaning 'the biological genus called Deparia.' Such noun + name constructions are directly interpretable (and common across languages), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand the phrase.

Etymology

Genus Deparia is a scientific name for a small 'group' of ground ferns, usually five species, and you can think of genus as a last name and Deparia as that family's name. So, when people use genus Deparia, they mean the set of related fern species called Deparia.
