This elegant Argentine stamp features the “Pata de Vaca” (Bauhinia candicans), a flowering tree native to South America known for its delicate white blossoms and distinctive twin-lobed leaves. Issued by the Republic of Argentina, the stamp has a face value of ₳2 and was printed by the Casa de Moneda, with artwork by J. M. Fouret. The design exemplifies Argentina’s mid-20th-century botanical series that celebrated native flora, combining scientific precision with artistic flair—highly prized among collectors for its clean typography and vibrant chromolithography.
