This elegant 20-centime postage stamp from Ruanda-Urundi features a beautifully detailed illustration of the Vellozia plant, known for its white star-like blossoms and slender green leaves. Issued during the Belgian administration period (1950s–early 1960s), it forms part of a floral definitive series printed by Courvoisier S.A. of Switzerland, renowned for its high-quality intaglio work. The design captures the delicate grace of African flora, reflecting both botanical accuracy and artistic finesse.
