The flag of Madeira features a white background with a central blue cross extending to the edges, overlaid by a smaller blue cross potent in the canton bearing a blue cross potent. In the lower right quadrant sits a stylized green laurel tree with a deep red trunk, representing the island’s lush vegetation and historical ties to the Portuguese crown.
