Because they are mutants. In fact, clover, which is common in Europe, North Africa and North and West Asia and the United States, has only one leaf, subdivided into leaflets. Most of them have three leaflets, and the scientific name itself indicates this: trifolium repens. But, on rare occasions, one out of four appears, probably because of a genetic mutation. Little is known about this anomaly. It's just that science has not yet been able to locate the gene responsible for the extra leaflets (there may be more than four, inclusive). What has already been discovered is that the climate influences. When the temperature rises in summer, four-leaf clover is more common.
