The flowers illustrated here are the current national emblems for each corresponding country.

However, in the case of Cape Verde, Japan, Papua New Guinea and Sweden, these have not yet been officially designated.

Additional emblems may exist, but these have been omitted here due to a lack of supporting evidence.
