9. The (Formula presented) type nomenclature was adopted in the 1st “Banana” workshop held in Berlin, but it is not based on structural observations. For example all the (Formula presented) denote materials that form telephone-wire-like textures on cooling from the isotropic phase, although some of them have in-layer order while others have no in-plane order.
