1860 J. Ruskin Mod. Painters V. 20 The elementary structure of all important trees may, I think..be resolved into three principal forms: three-leaved..four-leaved..and five-leaved... Or, in well-known terms, trefoil, quatrefoil, cinqfoil... The simplest arrangement..in which the buds are nearly opposite in position..cannot, I believe, constitute a separate class... If it did, it might be called difoil.
