Fiji – Scott #308 (Used)

Fiji Scott #308 is a 4 cent definitive stamp featuring the Bulbophyllum orchid, a striking tropical species native to the region. The design presents a finely detailed botanical illustration, highlighting the plant’s elongated leaves and distinctive yellow-orange blossoms, set within a clean framed layout typical of late 20th-century Fiji definitives. A small portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears in the upper corner, maintaining the Commonwealth tradition.

Floral issues like this one reflect Fiji’s rich biodiversity and the importance of native plants to the islands’ natural heritage. The artwork balances scientific accuracy with decorative appeal, making it attractive to both general collectors and specialists in botanical philately.

This example is used, showing a visible cancellation, and is well suited for collections focused on Fiji, flora, orchids, or Commonwealth definitive issues.
