Abstract
New variant of grouping of martensite platelets was observed experimentally for the $\{15. 10. 3\}$ and $\{522\}$ martensites. This variant represents a closed rhombic bipyramid faced eight habit planes of the same type united around one common direction $\langle 110\rangle$. The space of an austenite grain is filled by joining bipyramids with common edges into larger bipyramids of the next hierarhical level. Different variants of outgrowing faces in pyramidal groups in combination with different sectioning plane of the specimen allow to explain all observed morphological variants of the grouping martensite.
