Will the real Pleurothallis teres please stand up?

The first plant has always grown well (if not slowly), but has never flowered. It's due for a repot later in the week, and I've moved it from about 1500fc into light levels I flower Sophronitis under. The leaves have become more rigid, but I think I might try upping the intensity even more. I'm now thinking that the first plant is not Pleuro. teres, but rather Pleuro. fabiobarrosii; the growth habit and leaves are more consistent with the latter, though I'll have to wait on the bloom--if I can figure out when the heck the season is...

Interesting, I'm just guessing but the second plant has leaves that look a bit terete, which is where I guess the name came from.
