etc.....the sequence is natural spread horizontal, then vertical; dorsal sepal horizontal, then vertical; lateral sepals or ventral sepal width, then vertical; petals horizontal, then vertical; pouch or lip width, then length.

If you hit the top of each column it will re-organize each according to lowest to highest number in each column.

These measurements are just for the flowers. If the description is for a CHM or CBR then the size of the plant will also be indicated as well as a more scientific description of the plant and flowers.

If I missed something, please ask as I am doing this at work from memory.

and is the Judges' handbook available to me. I am an AOS member.
Thanks for information
