Malaysia issued series of stamps depicting Fruits of Malaysia, I had to resort to Google to convert their Latin names.
 |
| Nephelium lappaceum |
Not that I was much wiser for this 2002 stamp when I found out that it is 'rambutan' the fruit from the same tree.
I had better understanding from this 2005 tree/fruit
 |
| Averrhoa carambola |
This provides the 'star fruit'.
I didn't really need a translation for another from 2002.
 |
| Carica papaya |
Also known as a 'pawpaw'.
For others that could make up your 'five of the day' visit Sunday Stamps follow the links and take your pick.
(Sorry about the scanned quality of my images this week)

ah, I didn't realize that pawpaw was the same as papaya (although that makes sense!)
I love stamps of vegetables (and real vegetables, of course!).
I don't know rambutan either I wonder what it tastes like.
