Almost each country has an issue of stamps with
cacti or tropical orchids. There's no rule that only the native (or endemic)
plants should be on stamps. However aroids are rare on stamps. I think it should
be a recognizable group together with cacti, orchids and roses. My country
(Poland) has never released any stamp with an aroid, but the neighbours did
(Germany - 3 stamps and Czech Rep. also 3 stamps). In our area grow wild:
Calla palustris, Arum orientale, Arum maculatum, a few species of Lemna and
Spirodela polyrrhiza.

Anybody can pick out a bunch of pretty flowers or
fruits to put on stamps, but Some of these
plants are not even native to Micronesia.This is obviously not meant to
be a botanical drawing but an artist's rendition of something cute to put on
stamps. A stamp collector would apreciate a little accuracy in the stamps a
country produces what else makes them collectible. Native flowers and
fruits on a country's stamps should be a given, I guess Micronesia
doesn't care.

Hello,
The 16th stamp in this sheet is named
"taro",
but the leaf doesn't look like Colocasia
esculenta, rather like Xanthosoma sp.
What may it be? I know that artist sometimes
don't see important features for botanists.
Besides I read somewhere that in various
regions of the world, different species are cultivated as
"taro".
Can anyone help?
Marek
