Uniform colorings

There is a half symmetry form, , seen with alternating colors:

Symmetry

This tiling represents the mirror lines of *∞∞∞∞ symmetry. The dual to this tiling defines the fundamental domains of (*2∞) orbifold symmetry.

This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra and tilings with vertex figure (4n).
