What's the name for $r=\cos^3\theta$ (alternatively $x^2+y^2=x^{3/2}$)?

The curve appeared while solving this question.
I tried to look up both $r=\cos^3\theta$ and $x^2+y^2=x^{3/2}$,
and even clicked almost all the links here on wolfram.com .

This image is for $r=4\cos^3\theta$. Thanks in advance.
