The latest state definitive stamps of Malaysia released on 31 December 2007 are beautiful and elegant. A total of 84 stamps were issued - 6 different values for each of the 14 states/territories. There are some changes on the head of state and emblem of state on these stamps. Two states (Perlis and Selangor) have seen the newly crowned heads of state appeared on the stamps while the emblem of Sabah state has been reverted to the old version (two hands holding a flag). Also on this definitive series, Negeri Sembilan state definitives look a bit different from the traditional ones. The head of state of Negeri Sembilan for the very first time appears on the state definitives. The previous few series of state definitives for Negeri Sembilan only showed the state emblem (without the head of state).
The smallest denomination of these stamps is 5 sen with an image of lotus. The scientific name of lotus inscribed in the stamps is Nelumbium nelumbo. However, the scientific name Nelumbium nelumbo (L.) Druce (1913) is a synonym to Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner (1788). According to rules in botanical nomenclature, the current correct name for lotus should be Nelumbo nucifera because this name was introduced earlier than Nelumbium nelumbo (Nelumbo nucifera was introduced in 1788 while Nelumbium nelumbo was in 1913).
