Flora and Fauna of North East India
India Post issued four ₹5 stamps and a ₹20 miniature sheet on 24 March 2005 on the plants and animals of North East India, the easternmost region of the country, made up of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim. The four are the clouded leopard, the elephant apple, the Mishmi takin and a pitcher plant. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
