'''Demiregular Tessellations''' are comprised of repetitions of two or more regular polygons, where the number and type of each kind of polygon surrounding each vertex is different for some of the vertices in the plane. Although it can be argued that the number of such tessellations is infinite, they can be reduced to 14 specific types.

Other tessellations of the plane exist. See for example the tilings of [[M.C. Escher]].
