According to tradition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders, especially if found accidentally. In addition, each leaf is believed to represent something: the first is for faith, the second is for hope, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.〔Child, Madge (letter); and Dodge, Mary Mapes (magazine editor) (1877), Letter entitled "Four-Leaved Clovers", ''St. Nicholas'' ''(Scribner's Illustrated Magazine for Girls and Boys)'', Volume 4 (November 1876- November 1877), Scribner & Co., New York, New York, U.S.A., pp. 634-5, in the subsection of letters called "Jack-in-the-Pulpit", July 1877.〕 ==Occurrence== It has been estimated that there are approximately 10,000〔 three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf clover; even so, this probability has not deterred collectors who have reached records as high as 160,000 four-leaf clovers.〔Levitt, Steven D. ''(160,000 Four-Leaf Clovers? )'' New York Times. 25 May 2008.〕 Clovers can have more than four leaves: The most leaves ever found on a single clover stem (''Trifolium repens L''.) is 56 and was discovered by Shigeo Obara of Hanamaki City, Iwate, Japan, on 10 May 2009.〔''()''. Guinness World Record. Retrieved 20 November 2011.〕〔''(WEEK IN PHOTOS: Unlucky Kangaroo, 56-Leaf Clover, More )''. National Geographic. Retrieved 20 November 2011.〕 Five-leaf clovers are less commonly found naturally than four-leaf clovers;〔Hershey, David R. ''(Re: how common is a five leaf clover? )''. MadSci.org. 16 March 2000.〕〔''(Facts About Five-leaf Clovers )''. FourLeafClover.com. Retrieved 7 December 2008.〕 however, they, too, have been successfully cultivated.〔''(Five-leaf clover )''. Mt. Vernon Register-News. 14 October 2008.〕 Some four-leaf clover collectors, particularly in Ireland, regard the five-leaf clover, known as a rose clover, as a particular prize.〔Mabey, Richard, ''Flora Britannica'', p. 225 (citing Edward and Helene Wenis of Leonia, New Jersey, U.S., writing in ''BSBI News'', 56, 1990)〕 In exceptionally rare cases, clovers are able to grow with six leaves or more in nature. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Four-leaf clover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
