Morphology

genus + Hyacinthoides

The phrase directly names the taxonomic group: 'genus' (a biological rank) combined with the taxon name 'Hyacinthoides' yields the meaning 'the genus called Hyacinthoides'. This compositional pattern is standard in scientific naming and cross-linguistically transparent, so a learner who knows both constituents will understand the MWE.

Etymology

The name genus Hyacinthoides comes from the flower name hyacinth and the ending -oides, which means 'like'. It refers to a group of bulb plants with bell-shaped, hyacinth-like flowers, so the name simply says 'plants like hyacinths'.
