It’s more like very light pale green on the roebbies … while the phillie veining is darker emerald.

Very attractive flowers with long dark twisted petals. 
With regard to that trait I have doubts yours to be var. roebellenii.
I think, I heard you swear until the Caribbean where I was at that time.
Leslie, here we are on the same point as we were with counting spots on the pouch of Paph. godefroyae var. leucochilum. You can also read in other publications ....staminodal shield lacks green markings..... So does mean .... lacks green markings..... or how you wrote ....no green markings.... the absense of green markings at all .... what I think, or does it mean there could be light or faint green markings ....how you wrote and what I don't think ?

This flower of mine does have very very light green peridot veins but not the deep emerald green of the type form.
