Morphology
narrow-leaved + everlasting + pea
This is a straightforward compositional plant name: 'narrow-leaved' specifies the leaf shape and 'everlasting pea' denotes a type/variety of pea, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it is a pea plant with narrow leaves (of the everlasting/long‑lasting variety). The adjective+noun structure is a common, cross-linguistic naming pattern, making the meaning predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Narrow-leaved everlasting pea tells you what the plant is: it has thin, narrow-leaved leaves, pea-like flowers so it is called a pea, and it comes back every year, so people called it everlasting. That's why the name helps you remember it 'lives for many years' and often flowers for a long time.
