In geometry, the triapeirogonal tiling (or trigonal-horocyclic tiling) is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane with a Schläfli symbol of r{∞,3}.

Uniform colorings

The half-symmetry form, , has two colors of triangles:

This hyperbolic tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of uniform quasiregular polyhedra with vertex configurations (3.n.3.n), and [n,3] Coxeter group symmetry.
