Another definitive issue in 2005, featuring some of these beautiful Australian wildflowers. There are some 18,000 species of flowering native to Australia. Just like the continent's distinctive fauna, the flora has evolved in isolation for 50 million years, and many plants and flowers are found nowhere else on earth. The wildflowers featured in this stamp issue are the Sturt's Desert Pea, Coarse-leaved Mallee, Common Fringe Lily and the Swamp Daisy.
