In geometry, the order-8 triangular tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is represented by Schläfli symbol of {3,8}, having eight regular triangles around each vertex.
Related polyhedra and tilings
From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular octagonal and order-8 triangular tilings.
Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 10 forms.
