Which national flag has a cedar tree as its central emblem?

Lebanon’s national flag has a green cedar tree as its central emblem.

The flag consists of two horizontal red bands surrounding a wider white band. The cedar is centered in the white section and represents longevity, strength, and endurance. Cedar trees have deep historical and cultural importance in Lebanon and are mentioned repeatedly in ancient religious and literary sources.

Lebanon adopted the present flag on 7 December 1943, shortly after gaining independence from the French Mandate. The tree is officially meant to touch both red bands, although artistic versions do not always follow the exact proportions. The flag is often confused with other red-white designs, but the cedar makes Lebanon’s emblem immediately distinctive.
