Three stamps from Singapore are from a 2024 set of four that depict flora of the Lowland Dipterocarp Forest. Dipterocarp forests are dominated by trees from the dipterocarp family. These tall dense hardwood forests promote a extreme floral diversity. At one time Singapore was covered by such a forest but now only small pockets remain. And with the destruction of these forests also went much of the biodiversity. Obviously. But what remains is protected and cared for. Some of the critically endangered plants in the remaining forests are represented on these stamps.
