Clover

Clover

Quattrius infectum, this is not the real scientific name given by humans.

The Clover, as you know obviously, is a green cluster of plants that are small, and usually have clusters of three leaves, which on rare occaisions, are known to produce four. This, as a plant, would not be useful at all, but since this is a nitrogen enriched plant, and nitrogen would likely be needed to benefit the creatures' development in the Pikmin's world so the food chain could follow in a correct order, techinically, it is useful. Don't be confused with this for the Science Project, a treasure that is actually a four leaf clover!
