A horseshoe bat named for the distinctive three-lobed, clover-like shape of its noseleaf, and unusual among Rhinolophus species for often roosting alone in foliage rather than in caves.
Hunts flying insects at night within forest interior; its foliage-roosting habit makes it somewhat more likely to be flushed from daytime cover than cave-dependent relatives.
