Morphology
one-flowered + Pyrola
The phrase is directly compositional: 'one-flowered' means 'having a single flower' and 'Pyrola' names a genus of perennial herbs, so the phrase denotes a Pyrola plant with a single flower. This follows regular modifier+noun compounding in English and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The name one-flowered pyrola is a simple description: one-flowered means a single bloom on the top of the stem and pyrola names the plant group. So the name tells you it is a Pyrola plant with only one small white flower, which makes it easy to find and recognize.
