This definitive stamp features a stylized depiction of the Binara flower (Exacum trinervium), a plant native to Sri Lanka. The design is simple, focusing on the purple petals and yellow center of the flower, with the denomination and country name clearly displayed. It was part of a larger series showcasing the diverse flora of the island nation.

Issued five years after the country was renamed from Ceylon to Sri Lanka, this definitive series helped establish the new national identity through symbols of its natural heritage.
