How can you use “veris” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

It is possible that before the 15th century both the primrose and the cowslip ( Primula veris ) were regarded as one and the same and called cowslips [Old English cuslippe ]. Since where the two species grow near to each other they hybridize freely giving rise to intermediate forms, the need for two names might not have been apparent in earlier times.
The hybrid between the primrose and the cowslip ( Primula veris x vulgaris , sometimes called Primula variabilis ) is known as the oxlip . Usually it is called the common oxlip because it occurs quite frequently, but purists prefer to call it the false oxlip since there is a third species, Primula elatior , now found only in the eastern counties of England, which is, for them, the true oxlip . To add to the confusion the true oxlip is also known as the paigle , a name which, in the past, has been rather indiscriminately applied to several wildflowers including buttercups.
