The important thing to look at here is the column. T. ixioides ( & T. juncifolia) have a very different column post-anther lobe with a crowded band of little glands. They look like little pimply bumps and are very different. In T. simulata these are not present as is the case here, there is instead just that impressive yellow apex.
