Issued by the Democratic Republic of Congo, this 25k stamp showcases the striking Cassia alata, commonly known as the Candle Bush due to its upright, flame-like yellow flower clusters. The design features both the full bloom and a smaller botanical detail, enhancing its scientific and visual appeal. Printed by Harrison and Sons Ltd, it reflects the classic botanical illustration style of mid-20th century African issues. The vibrant yellow tones contrast beautifully with the green foliage, making it a standout piece. A desirable addition for collectors focusing on flora, tropical plants, or Congo definitive and commemorative series.
