Your cuatrecasasii looks like rupicola to me.

Compared to plants I am growing under the name N. rupicola, this
"cuatrecasasii" is much taller (about twice as tall) and has leaves only
about half as wide. The floral tube is quite a bit longer, too. Also, all
my accessions of N. rupicola flower at least a month later than this plant.
However, all the anthers are within the tube, which is not supposed to be
true of N. cuatrecasasii (I think).
The two species are in the same section, of course.
