This paper discusses the names of the plants in three-word compounds. The research material was taken from Pflanzennamen und botanischeFachwörter. BotanischesLexikon by Rudolf Schubert and Günther Wagner. The names of the plants were evaluated according to the criterion of the two-word structure of each compound. In this way, the analyzed names were divided into two groups with the following structures: 1. Basic word + compound 2. Compound + basic word The groups were then analyzed in terms of form and semantics. As far as form is concerned, it has been found that in the majority of cases the compounds are composed of nouns and rarely of other speech elements. Concerning semantics, it is interesting that in the second group, i.e. compound + basic word, both components of the compound belong almost exclusively to the same thematic groups.
