Malaysia 2016 Seven Wanders of Flora & Fauna

30sen Kancil ( Tragulus kanchil )
Kancil or lesser mousedeer, also known as lesser Malay chevrotain, is a species of even-toed ungulate in the family Tragulidae.

The lesser mouse-deer is found widely across Southeast Asia in Indochina, Burma (isthmus of Kra), Brunei, Cambodia, China (S Yunnan), Indonesia (Kalimantan, Sumatra and many small islands), Laos, Malaysia (peninsular Malaya, Sarawak and many small islands), Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

It is the smallest known hoofed mammal, its mature size being as little as 45 cm (18 inches) and 2 kg (4.4 lb). It is threatened by predation by feral dogs.  It is listed as Least Concern in IUCN Red List

50sen Kaduk ( Piper sarmentosum )
Kaduk is a plant in the Piperaceae family used in many Southeast Asian cuisines. The leaves are often confused with betel, but they lack the intense taste of the betel leaves and are significantly smaller.

This plant is a perennial herb with creeping rhizomes, and a striped stem that grow to 40 cm high. Its leaves are thin, heart-shaped, and 8–10 cm long and 8–11 cm wide, with 5 main veins from the base of the blade, oil glands on the upper surface, and finely pubescent veins on its under side. Its petioles are 2.5–3 cm long. Erect white spikes of 1–2 cm long emerge at the axils

50sen Lebah Kelulut ( Meliponula ferruginea )
60sen Merak Pongsu ( Polyptectron malucense )
60sen Katak Sawah Hijau ( Rana crythraea )

Indonesia 2008-2010 Provincial Flora & Fauna

 

kepel & perkutut of Yogyakarta

The kepel fruit tree (Stelechocarpus burahol) is one of the best floral symbols of Yogyakarta. It has strong ties to the Yogyakarta Palace (Keraton) and was traditionally planted in royal gardens. Kepel represents purity, self-control, and nobility, values closely associated with Javanese court culture. Because it was once reserved for royalty, it symbolizes Yogja’s historical identity as a center of kingship and tradition.

The perkutut (dove) ( Geopelia striata ) is widely considered the best animal representative of Yogyakarta. In Javanese culture, the perkutut symbolizes peace, loyalty, harmony, and spiritual calm, qualities that align with Yogja’s philosophy of balance and refinement. It is also associated with leadership wisdom and inner peace, which fits Yogyakarta’s role as a cultural and philosophical heart of Java.

Israel 1952 Rosh Hashanah "Flora"

The 1952 Israel Rosh Hashanah postage stamp series featured a theme inspired by the Song of Solomon.

The set of four stamps, designed by Otte Wallish, depicted various symbols and imagery from the biblical text, including doves, reeds, Easter lily (Lilium longiflorum), fig (Ficus carica), and Lambert's Nut (Corylus maxima). These motifs were chosen to convey messages of love, peace, and renewal, appropriate for the Jewish New Year celebration.
