Rectangle divided by four

The scaling factor from one generation to the next is 1/2. This reptile has two-fold rotational symmetry and mirror symmetry, allowing for choices in the orientation of the smaller units in cases where those units have less symmetry than a rectangle. Two examples are shown below, through eight iterations.
