This 400 Pesos postage stamp from the Republic of Argentina features the striking epiphytic plant Clavel del Aire (Tillandsia aeranthos), commonly known as the "Air Carnation." Issued in 1977 as part of Argentina’s definitive flora series, the stamp highlights the country’s rich botanical diversity. The detailed illustration by J. M. Fouret captures the vibrant red bracts and violet blossoms of this hardy species, which thrives without soil, drawing nutrients from the air. Printed by Casa de Moneda, the issue represents Argentina’s dedication to showcasing native flora on its definitive postage. A beautiful piece for collectors of Latin American plants, flora, and definitive issues.
