A hexagonal system (HS) is a finite connected plane graph with no cut- vertices in which every interior region is a hexagonal unit cell. The author provides a simple and fast algorithm for finding a perfect matching (PM) in an HS if it exists. He also characterizes the set of all PM's in a given HS. The results do have applications in chemistry, since an HS with a PM represents a certain molecule.
