The blossoms of the two are considerably different, and if I'm not mistaken, the gastrochilus has a great many more blossoms per infloresence.

I was sold a Pteroceras semiteretifolium which has gloomed along for several
years oing nothing much but which has now delivered several dozen flowers. To
my eye it is a Gastrochilus, close to G. acutifolius. Does anyone have a
comment on this, or have I been sold a "'tisn't"?
