This definitive stamp issue is the third issue in the Australian Wildflowers series – Series I issued on 5 Jul 2005 and Series II issued on 7 Feb 2006. Similar to the Australia'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 third series are the Tasmanian Christmas Bell, Green Spider Flower, Sturt's Desert Rose and the Phebalium whitei (there's no common name for this yellow-flowering shrub).
