Plus Wales was administratively incorporated into England by Henry VIII in 1535 (or possibly 1536, I forget), so it was officially part of England during the period that the Union flag was being designed and modified.
EDIT I suppose that there's now no reason why the Welsh should not start a campaign to change the flag. Or is such a campaign already in existence? Or do they feel that it wouldn't fit in with independence? Or does anyone really care?

Pine seed, or possibly pine cone, actually.
