Frangipani

This regular definitive issue concludes the collection with a detailed botanical plate showcasing Frangipani (Plumeria rubra). The vertical vignette depicts a highly symmetrical terminal cluster of star-shaped, five-petaled blossoms radiating outward from a central stalk, framed by a striking whorl of elongated, lance-shaped canopy leaves. Historically, this stamp celebrates an essential component of the sensory landscape of the Comoros, where Plumeria species are integrated into local perfume-distillation traditions, decorative arts, and community celebrations. The piece permanently documents the rich arboreal assets and horticultural heritage of the islands, illustrating the intersection of native biodiversity and traditional ethnobotanical customs.
