Why "prismatic"? That usually implies a product. —Tamfang (talk) 03:49, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where the name was from, and not seen any other names. Johnson calls the cmm or [∞,2+,∞], group full gyro-orthic group, so Gyro-orthic pentagonal tiling might be a choice. Tom Ruen (talk) 04:43, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wolfram.alpha uses it [1], but no sources, and as likely copied from here. Floret pentagonal tiling is also there [2]! Tom Ruen (talk) 04:29, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did a search for "half hex tiling" and found a different one (Half Hex Stack), cutting a hexagon into trapezoids![3] Tom Ruen (talk) 04:51, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
