Shamrock
A shamrock is a type of clover, used as a symbol of Ireland. The word shamrock comes from Irish seamróg ([ˈʃamˠ.ɾˠoːɡ]), which is the diminutive of the Irish word seamair and simply means "young clover". At most times, Shamrock refers to either the species Trifolium dubium (lesser/yellow clover, Irish: seamair bhuí) or Trifolium repens (white clover, Irish: seamair bhán). However, other three-leaved plants—such as Medicago lupulina, Trifolium pratense, and Oxalis acetosella—are sometimes called shamrocks. The shamrock was traditionally used for its medicinal properties, and was a popular motif in Victorian times.
