A simple graph is reflexive if the second largest eigenvalue of its (0, 1) adjacency matrix does not exceed 2. A graph is a cactus, or a treelike graph, if any pair of its cycles (circuits) has at most one common vertex. The subject of this paper is the class of tricyclic cactuses in which the central cycle is a quadrangle touching the rest two cycles at its non-adjacent vertices. In this class we describe a set of maximal reflexive graphs. The so-called “pouring” of Smith trees plays the crucial role in characterizing the resulting set.
