Palms are one of the most well-known and extensively cultivated plant families. Most palms are distinguished by their large evergreen leaves arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. Palms also inhibit nearly every type of habitat from rainforest to deserts. However, the majority of the species are tropical or subtropical as few palms can tolerate cold weather. This stamp issue features three species of palm trees, namely the Serdang Palm, Fish Tail Palm and the Fan Palm. This stamp issue also marks the introduction of a new watermark incorporating the flying bird logo of Pos Malaysia and SPM.
