This 0.80 denomination stamp from the Republic of China (Taiwan) features the striking Epiphyllum oxypetalum, commonly known as the “Queen of the Night.” Issued in 1960 as part of Taiwan’s floral definitive series, it highlights the nocturnal cactus flower that blooms only once a year, opening at night and wilting before dawn. The stamp’s design contrasts the delicate white petals and intricate stamens against a deep maroon background, showcasing the plant’s fleeting beauty. A favorite among botanists and collectors, this issue reflects Taiwan’s tradition of celebrating native flora through postage. Well-preserved examples remain a prized addition for thematic collections of flowers, Asian flora, and botanical rarities.
