In geometry, the order-4 square hosohedral honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {2,4,4}. It has 4 square hosohedra {2,4} around each edge. In other words, it is a packing of infinitely tall square columns. It is a degenerate honeycomb in Euclidean space, but can be seen as a projection onto the sphere. Its vertex figure, a square tiling is seen on each hemisphere.
