An additional source .... (and I have a more complete list
somewhere, just have to go dig it up ... anyone else attend
Mike Szeze's presentation on CP collectibles at the
last Eastern CP Convention and have access to the list?
The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA)
issued last summer, as part of its Endangered
Species collection, stamps of Cephalotus follicularis (.32 c US)
and Darlingtonia californica. (.80 Francs, I believe)

You can order via UNPA, United Nations
New York, NY 10017. (They also have
a web page (point your browser to UNPA)
and you can order online, if they're still
available.

stamps in the collection include: Masdevallia veitchiana,
Carnegiea gigantea, Encephalartos horridus, Paphiopedilum delenatii,
Pachypodium baronii, Sternbergia lutea, Cypripedium calceolus.
