Trefoil Quatrefoil Cinquefoil Petal Name Mapper
Map only independently counted3/4/5 lobes to common foil terms; no automated flower identification.
Description
Trefoil, quatrefoil and cinquefoil labels describe three-, four- and five-lobed forms in this bounded naming table.
Trefoil, quatrefoil and cinquefoil labels describe three-, four- and five-lobed forms in this bounded naming table.1
Selecting a name requires an already established lobe count.
When to use Trefoil Quatrefoil Cinquefoil Petal Name Mapper
Use this tool to calculate or review the supplied observations under the stated rules. Establish the source tradition, viewing frame, coordinate units and independently annotated features.
How to use Trefoil Quatrefoil Cinquefoil Petal Name Mapper and understand its results
- Establish the source tradition, viewing frame, coordinate units and independently annotated features.
- Enter observedFoilLobeCount, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result.conventionalName, using the output meanings and calculation rules below.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedFoilLobeCount | Observed foil lobe count | number | Required |
Enter a numeric lobe count equal to three, four or five. Convert it to a string and look up trefoil, quatrefoil or cinquefoil respectively; every other count fails.
| Lobes | Name |
|---|---|
| 3 | trefoil |
| 4 | quatrefoil |
| 5 | cinquefoil |
name={3:trefoil,4:quatrefoil,5:cinquefoil}[count] Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Calculated observation or reference | object |
| result.conventionalName | conventional Name | string |

}Limitations and assumptions
The count is supplied rather than detected. Unsupported counts are errors, not automatically assigned new names.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related step, use Fleur-de-Lis Petal Count Validator: A fleur's annotated petal count is a geometric observation. For a complementary comparison, use Star Point Count Term Decoder (mullet 5-6 points): Mullet point terminology depends on the observed charge and adopted source.
