Colocasia esculenta, a synonym being
Colocasia antiquorum Kolokasi, Taro, Eddo yams
This stamp was issued by ΚΥΠΡΟΣ, KIBRIS, CYPRUS IN 2020
The EUROMED theme was GASTRONOMY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
The stamp depicts the huge leaves of the Colocasia esculenta plant and a typical meal of Cyprus, Κολοκάσι γιαχνιστό με χοιρινό, Taro stew with pork
The photo showing all sorts of exotic vegetables was taken in a market in Vienna several years ago
Colocasia esculenta is mentioned in several issues of THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN
I chose number 83, January 2016 because there is also a link showing photos which feature the Kolokasi
