Is VERAS the plural form of vera?
In Latin, the word vera is (1) nominative feminine singular, (2) ablative feminine singular, or (c) nominative/accusative neuter plural of the adjective verus, meaning "true".Obviously in case (3), vera is already plural. If vera is feminine singular, its plural is verae(nominative) or veris (ablative). Veras is a valid plural form, but it's the plural of veram, the accusative feminine singular.This chart might make things clearer (then again, it may not)Singularcase : masculine / feminine / neuter nominative : verus / vera / verumaccusative : verum / veram / verumgenitive : veri / verae / veridative : vero / verae / veroablative : vero / vera / veroPluralcase : masculine / feminine / neuter nominative : veri / verae / veraaccusative : veros / veras / veragenitive : verorum / verarum / verorumdative : veris / veris / verisablative : veris / veris / verisAll this may be of academic interest only, if your question is about the use of plural forms in botanical terminology. To the best of my knowledge scientific names don't tend to adhere scrupulously to the rules of Latin grammar.
