Let $X$ be the Fano threefold of index one, degree $22$, and $\mathrm{Pic}(X)\cong\mathbb{Z}$. Such a threefold $X$ can be realized by a regular zero section $\mathbf{s}$ of $(\bigwedge^2\mathcal{F}^{*})^{\oplus 3}$ over Grassmannian variety $\mathrm{Gr}(3,V)$, $\dim V=7$ with the universal subbundle $\mathcal{F}$. When the section $\mathbf{s}$ is given by the net of the $\mathrm{SL}_2$-invariant skew forms, we call it by the Mukai-Umemura (MU) variety. In this paper, we prove that the Hilbert scheme of rational quartic curves in the MU-variety is smooth and compute its Poincar\'e polynomial by applying the Bia{\l}ynicki-Birula's theorem., Comment: 23 pages, 2 figures
