I don't know that for sure but I guess
Pw means Petals width, Pl - Petals length
and Lipw - Lip width, Lipl - Lip length and so on.

Bahram

Start with Natural Spread. Measuring the widest point on the flower.
NSV Natural Spread Vertical.
DSW Dorsal Sepal Width, DSL ds length.
As Bahram said PW & PL is petal width and length
Ls is lateral sepal,
Lip is lip or pouch

It is all the measurements of the flower in order.
