What have we got here?



(a) nobody gives a damn, Lisa;
(b) phase portraits of quadratic polynomial vector fields;
(c) phase portraits of polynomially quadratic field vectors;
(d) quadratic vector portraits of topologically insignificant vector phase fields.

Anybody?

I'm gonna go with b. They're definitely phase portraits. And I have no idea what "polynomially quadratic" would mean. And they shouldn't be topologically insignificant. There are sinks and sources and stuff like that.
