clover leaf

Looping road junction

A clover leaf is a single leaf from the clover plant, typically composed of three rounded leaflets.

Finding one with four leaflets—a four-leaf clover—is considered lucky.

As two words, clover leaf usually refers to the plant part; as one word, cloverleaf typically describes the highway interchange pattern resembling a four-leaf clover.
