A beautifully engraved 20F definitive showcasing Thonningia sanguinea, a striking West African parasitic wildflower known for its deep crimson blooms. Printed in rich red-brown tones with golden highlights, the detailed line-engraving style gives the petals exceptional texture and depth. Part of the nation’s classic flora series, this issue reflects Côte d’Ivoire’s early post-independence emphasis on native botanical heritage. The clean typography and balanced composition make it a standout thematic piece for both African and plant collections. Highly desirable in fine mint or lightly used condition with sharp perforations.
