There are two varieties : Trifolium repens which has a white flower and Trifolium dubium which has a yellow flower. Trefolium pratense has purple flowers and can also be used.

The only type that has the true rounded leaflets and has the greatest claim to being called a true shamrock is the Black Medick, or Medicago lupulina.

"Oxalis Deppei", "Oxalis Regnelli", and "Trifolium Repens" are the botanical names for a few of the (many) varieties of trifoliate (three-leaved clover) "Lucky Shamrock" plants. They are actually more native to South America than Ireland. Four (hope, faith, love, luck) and more-leaved clovers are about a 1 in 10,000 mutation. "Oxalis tetraphylla" is a four-leaved (wood) sorrel a.k.a. "Lucky Clover".

Assuming of course that by Shamrock you mean a simple green three leaf clover, I believe the name is Trifolium dubium.
