The hyperbolic plane can be tiled by any three regular polygons {p}, {q}, {r} (with the hyperbolic property of course) as long as equilateral triangles alternate with them around each vertex. Each {p}, {q}, and {r} is then entirely surrounded by triangles {3}. Such a uniform tiling is called a "snub".
