I love that but it's missing 2 leaves

I got two more leaves for you 🥦

$\left(1+\sin(\theta)\right) \left(1+\frac{9}{10}\sin(9\theta)\right) \left(1+\frac{1}{10}\sin(-27\theta)\right) \left(\frac{9}{10}+\frac{1}{10}\cos(200\theta)\right)$

The number of leaves depends on the age of the plant. There are ones with one and three leaves as well. However I've never seen a leaf with a bud in the middle like on the left.

It's a mutation, happens rarely. I've had a couple of plants do it in the 5 or so years I've been growing.
