Plural form of cercis; multiple plants of the redbud genus Cercis.
From cercis with the English plural suffix -es. This follows standard English pluralization rules for Latin genus names.
When botanists are describing multiple redbud trees, they shift to cercises, which shows how scientific names get 'englishified' when we use them in everyday scientific writing rather than formal Latin.
