Flora -
1.the plants of a particular region or period, listed by species and considered as a whole.
2.a work systematically describing such plants.
3.plants, as distinguished from fauna.
4.the aggregate of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms normally occurring on or in the bodies of humans and other animals: intestinal flora.
Flora, I believe, is singular as well as plural.
