This beautiful 15 Franc stamp from the Republic of Madagascar (Repoblika Malagasy) features a vivid illustration of lychee clusters (Litchi chinensis) hanging among green foliage. The lychee, known locally as letchis, is one of Madagascar’s most important tropical fruits, prized for its sweet, fragrant flavor and long-standing role in both culture and trade. The design, engraved by Pheulpin, combines fine green detailing of the leaves with striking red shading for the fruits, giving the stamp a rich, lifelike appearance. Issued during the 1960s, it reflects Madagascar’s emphasis on showcasing its rich biodiversity and agricultural products through philately. A classic thematic issue for collectors interested in flora, tropical fruits, and Madagascar’s natural heritage.
