Paphiopedilum rothschildianum 'Charles E.' K70U1, August 1970, roll 197008 slide 7. The same cultivar has been listed as 'Charles Edwards' and 'Charles Edwin Edwards', with the species either as rothschildianum or elliottianum. The earliest award was HCC/AOS HCC/ODC, as rothschildianum, July 20, 1965, at Oakland monthly judging, Oakland, CA, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Edwards, San Francisco, CA. Given that provenance, it is hard to understand the collection number K70U1 listed on this slide, unless it means that the Keyes acquired it in 1970 as a division of the plant that had been imported by Mr. Edwards from an "U"nknown location. Species described in 1892.
