Tempus vernum
I agree with the above posts as well. Vernum can also be used a substantive adjective, usually in the ablative of time when, that can replace the entire phrase tempore verno. For example, this sentence in Pliny the Elder (19.33):
In hoc mirum imas eius radices crescere hieme, verno autem, cum apparuerit viola, minui ac contrahi, tunc deinde bulbum pinguescere.
In hoc mirum imas eius radices crescere hieme, verno autem, cum apparuerit viola, minui ac contrahi, tunc deinde bulbum pinguescere.
Example sentence:
in hoc mirum imas eius radices crescere hieme, verno autem, cum apparuerit viola, minui ac contrahi, tunc deinde bulbum pinguescere.
