In geometry, the Floret pentagonal tiling is a dual semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. It is the dual of the snub hexagonal tiling.

Conway calls it a 6-fold pentille.

It is given its name because its six pentagonal tiles radiate out from a central point, like petals on a flower.

This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of polyhedra of pentagons with face configurations (V3.3.3.3.n). (The sequence progresses into tilings the hyperbolic plane to any "n".) These face-transitive figures have (n32) rotational symmetry.
