Repeated application of the unitary reflections

to the point (1,0) and line x + iy = 1 yields 24 points and 24 lines. These are the vertices and edges of the regular complex polygon 4 {3} 4 whose group has the abstract definition R4 = I, RSR = SRS [l]. The purpose of this note is to introduce the notion of regular quaternion polygon and give an example analogous to the preceding one.
