Laos error.
Suggest this might not be an error, but a non-specific
Actually A..miniature ( yes a spelling error ) as one might use rosa miniature (miniature rose ) using genus only rather than species. Unless of course all other stamps in set show species +genus in which case it is an error. My RHS encyclopedia shows that there are only 5 species of this genus only one of which is general cultivation ( NOT this one ). The range of the genus is from the Himalayas to SE Asia via Myanmar, so it is quite likely that only the one species is native to Laos - but my Botany is not so advanced only sufficient for me to grow my plants - and epyphitic orchids are a bit difficult in the UK !!

OK Malcolm,
I'll leave it to you. I had my ear chewed off yesterday, for referring to a lady's Kunzea Baxterii as a "bottlebrush". You botanists are a strange mob. wrote in message ...
