shamrock （醡漿草）與 clover （苜蓿）同屬豆科三葉類目（trefoil）植物。shamrock是體型較小的三葉類植物，clover則是比較大株的三葉類植物。在篤信天主教的愛爾蘭把shamrock做為國徽，象徵天主教聖嬰、聖父、聖靈的三位一體（Trinity）。shamrock leaves clover leaves

A shamrock is a common name for a clover. But, shamrocks are smaller than clovers!
據說 Irish shamrock 是一種白色的clover都屬於Trifolium repens的一種植物喔
FYI: Shamrocks came to be associated with St. Patrick's Day because the patron saint of Ireland used the three-leafed plant as a metaphor for the Christian concept of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Basically, Irish people says shamerock, Americans say clover!
