The scientific name 'Cornus mas L.' is visible on the stamp, identifying the plant as Cornelian cherry, which produces red, edible fruits often mistaken for small peppers. This detail adds botanical accuracy and educational value for collectors interested in flora. The stamp's design is typical of mid-20th-century European philately, emphasizing clear imagery and informative text.
