Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Kiribati issued a seven-stamp series in 1979 named LOCAL MOTIVES
The photo was taken somewhere in Corinth in November 2011
I scanned some pages from the NOUVEAU LAROUSSE ILLUSTRE and thought to share number 41, Hibiscus, on the page named FLEURS
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is mentioned in
