Name this network topology? multiple star networks sparsely linked by leaves

I am trying to find existing examples (or even the name) of a network structure a colleague of mine is working on. The network looks like a number of central hubs, each with its own leaf nodes, but a few of the leaves are connected to 2 hubs. The hubs are not connected to each other.

It's a kind of mesh, but it's more constrained than that. Could you call it a mesh of stars?

It's actually somewhat similar to internet topology, in particular that of the early internet - sites have networks, and some of the nodes at the edges of a network (edge routers) are connected to one or more adjacent networks.
