You mean a genus name ;-)
The first name is the genus, the second is the species.
There is no law that says a genus name can't be descriptive. Bellis
(beautiful) for example.

OK Kay. I stand corrected!

I think I may be missing several replies but is it possible that it is
Centaurea montana?
Description fits and its the sort of mistake hand written labels often throw
up!

It does turn out to be that, Charlie, so I think you're missing some posts,
yes.

Yes I feel sure it is that, but have yet to confirm it with my friend.
I have not seen the plant in question. I'm curious now to see whether
it is a mistake in labelling or my friend's reading skills!
