Malaysia 2010 - Ferns

Pos Malaysia released a set of five stamps and a miniature sheet on topic of ferns on March 10, 2010. The five stamps with denomination of 50 sen each are printed in a format of horizontal strip of five. The fern species depicted in the stamps are Helminthostachys zeylanica, Stenochlaena palustris, Platycerium coronarium, Dicranopteris linearis and Diplazium esculentum. On the other hand, the miniature sheet has a denomination of RM3 depicting three fern species i.e. Asplenium nidus, Matonia pectinata and Dipteris conjugata. These ferns are medicinal and ornamental values. The design of the stamps is not too bad. However, I personally think that the miniature sheet would be much better if it were made into three different stamps with denomination RM1 each for each of the three fern species.
