R pilocarpa is a smaller plant. This is a larger plant

? Not sure I follow that. R. pilocarpa is smaller when it is small, but being a plant, it grows. I don't know if Rhipsalis have a limit to their size. It certainly isn't at the size of your plant.

R. pilocarpa seems the best fit for your second plant.

Can't figure out the first one.

Attached below is a picture of the plant that I have as r. pilocarpa. It is not the same
as the plant shown in picture 2. The plant here is much bigger.
