In [[geometry]], the '''order-8 triangular tiling''' is a [[regular hyperbolic tiling|regular tiling]] of the [[Hyperbolic geometry|hyperbolic plane]]. It is represented by [[Schläfli symbol]] of ''{3,8}'', having eight regular [[triangle]]s around each vertex.

The half symmetry [1⁺,8,3] = [(4,3,3)] can be shown with alternating two colors of triangles:

{{Triangular regular tiling}}

From a [[Wythoff construction]] there are ten hyperbolic [[Uniform tilings in hyperbolic plane|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.
