Bifolium

A bifolium is a quartic plane curve with equation in Cartesian coordinates:
Construction and equations.
Given a circle C through a point O, and line L tangent to the circle at point O: for each point Q on C, define the point P such that PQ is parallel to the tangent line L, and PQ = OQ. The collection of points P forms the bifolium.
In polar coordinates, the bifolium's equation is
For "a" = 1, the total included area is approximately 0.10.
