The Khejri Tree
India Post issued this 60 paise stamp on 5 June 1988, World Environment Day. The khejri, Prosopis cineraria, is a small tree of India’s dry regions that stands up to drought and extremes of temperature. It gives timber and fuel, its pods feed livestock, and its leaves are lopped for fodder. The Bishnois of Rajasthan have traditionally protected it.
