SCHEDULE FOR JUDGMENT

Having in mind what was explained and considering that there are phenotypes more exuberant (more out-standing), it is suggested this hierarchal differientator schedule for the judging Cattleya intermedia.

Classificatory phenotypic ordination for some species of Cattleya and Laelia

1- General shapeof the flower (typical and atypical)  
2- Basic color of the flowers (type, alba, coerulea, vinicolor, semi-alba, albescens, concolor, etc.)  
3- Petal-sepal print (veined, punctata, striata, etc)  
4- Lip-print (type and different multiform)  
5- Color of the lip-print [type, amethyst, amethystine, wine, roxo-bispo [purple bishop robes] etc.)
In judgment, usually we use one or two phenotypes more outstanding for the determination of the group of frame. In the trilabiate, we can use until three phenotypes.

Main Phenotypes - Petals shape
First separating the cultivars by the differential phenotypes of the petals shape which give origin to three groups to be judged separately:
- TYPICAL diploid 
- ATYPICAL Wide petals  
- ATYPICAL trilabiate   (with or without macula )

Phenotypes concerning the basic colors
Then, we should separate the typical and atypical wide petals and atypical , trilabiate without macula, according to their basic colors, determinant for the follow nomenclature (12 groups):
1. Alba
2. Semi-alba
3. Albescens
4. Semi-albescens
5. Suavissima
6. Concolor
7. Types
8. Rubra (red)
9. Sanguinea (blood color)
10. Vinicolor
11. Coerulea
12. Coerulenses


Phenotypes concerning the petal-sepal prints.
In the petals of the typical flowers, atypical with wide petals and in the neo-lips of the atypical trilabiate without macula, we can observe the follow petal-sepal prints (5 groups)
1 - Punctata
2 - Maculata
3 - Striata
4 - Wine
5 - Flamea

Phenotypes concerning the neo-lips prints.
The atypical trilabiate and trilabeloid with macula flowers will have the neo-lips gathered according to the lip-prints with two options and forming, in this case, 2 or 10 groups:
1 - trilabiate aquinoid
2 - trilabiate flamea

or subdivided in

1 - Aquinoid (Types)
2 - Flamea (Multiform without particularities)
3 - Orlata
4 - Marginata
5 - Striata
6 - Flameo-lineata
7 - Oculata
8 - Pseudotypes
9 - Íntegras (complete)
10 - Wine color

Phenotypes to class the forms of the print drawn on the lips
Grouping of the flowers not selected before, including the typical, atypical polyploid and trilabiate typical without macula and presenting the same drawing printed independently of the flowers colors.
TYPO (already grouped in basic colors) e MULTIFORM (two groups)

Division of the multiform group:
1 - Multiform Sp
2 - Pseudotype
3 - Mandaiano
4 - Atro
5 - Oculata
6 - Wine
7 - Orlata
8 - Marginato
9 - Irrorato
10 - Striata
11 - Íntegro (complete)
12 - Albo-marginata
(Thus having 1 or more 12 groups) 

Color phenotypes of the lip prints
The last step is to gather the remain plants which the only differential phenotypes are the colors of the lips (it is good for the typical, for the atypical with wide petals and for the atypical trilabiate without macula). Besides the 7 (type), already ranked before, we have 11 more groups.

1 - Roxo-Bispo (purple bishop robes)
1 - Type Suave
3 - Amethyst
4 - Amethystine
5 - Purple-violet
6 - Wine
7 - Frezina (cherry coloured)
8 - Bordeaux
9 - Lilazina (lilacish)
10 - Marrom (Brown)
11 - Magenta

Groups for judgment
Typical diploid, atypical with wide petals and atypical trilabiate without macula's, 29 or 40 groups for judgment.
In the trilabiate with macula, 2 or 10 groups for judgment.
In order to decrease the number of the groups to be judged, we can gather the phenotypes in different group reducing for 32 the groups of judgment:
Option 1: Judge exclusively the phenotype with the best general shapeamong all present plants. We only have a judgment. e
Option 2: Judge exclusively by the form, separately, the typical diploid, the atypical with wide petals and the atypical trilabiate without macula's. 3 groups for judgment.
Option 3: To reduce the phenotypes of the basic colors and the colors of the lip prints:
- in the bluish colorations [coerulea, coerulenses, amethystine, amethyst, roxo-violeta (purple violet) and roxo-batata (purple-potato)] as a group of the blue;
- in the "wine" colorations [vinicolor, wine, frezina (cherry coloured) and bordeaux] as a group of the wine. Another options can be adopted, such as, for example, to choose only the best in shape among the trilabiate with or without macula, independently of the colors and the prints presented, reducing in this way a great number of groups.
