The quadrifolium (also known as four-leaved clover[1]) is a type of rose curve with an angular frequency of 2.
It has the polar equation: with corresponding algebraic equation Rotated counter-clockwise by 45°, this becomes with corresponding algebraic equation In either form, it is a plane algebraic curve of genus zero.
, which is exactly half of the area of the circumcircle of the quadrifolium.
