I’ve found a flag mentioned in Nostromo by Joseph Conrad:

How the United States cruiser, Powhattan, was the first to salute the Occidental flag — white, with a wreath of green laurel in the middle encircling a yellow amarilla flower.
The Occidental Republic is a fictional nation in which the novel occurs.
