This Argentinian postage stamp, issued in 1980, depicts the Virreina (Mutisia retusa Remy), a native flowering plant known for its striking pink petals and climbing growth. The design, engraved by J. M. Fouret and printed by Casa de Moneda, highlights the botanical richness of Argentina’s flora. With a face value of $a 180, it belongs to a definitive series celebrating native flowers. Such issues are admired by both thematic collectors of flora and those specializing in Latin American philately. Well-preserved examples remain attractive due to their detailed botanical illustration and cultural significance.
