This 14-cent commemorative stamp from Norfolk Island, issued in 1974, celebrates the 200th anniversary of Captain James Cook’s discovery of the island in 1774. The design features the Araucaria excelsa, commonly known as the Norfolk Island Pine, a symbol of the island’s natural heritage. The illustration beautifully depicts the tree in various growth stages along with its cones and seeds. This issue is part of a series honoring Cook’s voyage and Norfolk Island’s unique flora — a must-have for collectors of botanical and exploration-themed philately.
