___ vera (4)

I believe the answer is:

aloe

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include "Bitter drug from a leaf juice" , ". . . . vera, soothing plant" , "Succulent plant (4) 5532" , "Flower, maybe vera" , "Bitter fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post, The Star Tribune, the LA Times, the Universal and the USA Today.
