Hmm... my D. intermedia 'Cuba' were a little more compact than your second variety. They looked more like Jeremiah's clone when they were young.

They may just be different clones, but if I had to make a decision, I might say that the second clone is actually a different form of D. intermedia. I guess you can tell if it starts to form hibernacula or not.

Hi JK here,

I don't think I have mentioned this as D. intermedIa 'cuba' but as D. intermedIa "Psco Co. Fla, USA"

Hi wezx,
Glad to see the plants are doing well, the last pics show an example of “False vivipary”, which also occurs often in my source plants.

oops! i must have confused it with another D. intemediate 'cuba i recieved 3 packets of seeds...

False vivipary? it' looks so cool, flower on a flower!
so it requires dormancy?
 
I would also be inclined to agree with the other opinions. The plants in the first photo are not D. intermedia.

Regarding the D. intermedia "Cuba", my plants occasionally produce hibernacula. I am suspicious of the supposed origin of this form, since no other tropical D. intermedia has ever gone dormant.
 
hmmm, it is flowering so it must not be so young, Yay! I have another form!
are you guys sure it is D capillaris? Jerramiah from the US supposed to send me D intermediate but i think he got mixed up!
 
Good thing its not D. capensis (so easy grower in the US, cursed in singapore!) Probably due to singapore's 'hot and tropical' climate.
Does D. capillaris grow well in singapore? Keep getting those two mixed up...

Hmmm... you will be able to tell when they mature a bit more.  The D. intermedia 'Cuba' have much more upright growth than the D. capillaris.  I will say that they look exactly like my D. intermedia 'Cuba' seedlings.

Here's my two as a comparison.

To me at least, the D. intermedia 'Cuba' looks the most likely.  You will easily be able to tell when they become more mature though.

The plants are too immature and atypical due to low light culture to really be sure. The petioles of D. intermedia are glaborous and nearly round in cross section vs D. capillaris which has hairs present on the petiole which is elliptical in cross section. Hope this helps.
