Design[]
The flag depicts the Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) in a central white stripe between two green stripes. The flag's geometry is a triband, with a height-to-length ratio of 1:2. The central stripe is wider than the two outer stripes, the ratio being 7:9:7. The flag of Norfolk Island bears resemblance to the Nigerian flag.
