Cattleya tigrina was first published by Achille Richard in 1848 in the French publication, Portefeuillie des horticulteurs. The description is accompanied by a color plate that seems to clearly represent the species we are writing about here. Two years later M . Verschaffelt collected the plant in Santa Catarina and in a politically correct move, named itCattleya leopoldii after King Leopold I of Belgium who was an ardent supporter of horticulture. He did not formally publish the species though, so it was up to Charles Lemaire to formalize it and provide a description in L'illustration horticole Vol II p. 68, 1855 (although a note without latinized description appeared in Vol I of the same periodical a year earlier). Fowlie² contended that among other reasons, no type existed for Richard's description and that Cattleya tigrina was a nomen obscurum. Braem argued that "just because a type has not been found does not mean that it doesn't exist" and "the type of Cattleya tigrinais awaiting rediscovery among other sheets somewhere in a herbarium, probably in Paris". As it turns out, there is indeed a type specimen dated 1838 in the Muséum National D'Histoire Naturelle...in Paris!

Cattleya tigrina is a species that inhabits coastal swamps of Brazil from south of Rio de Janeiro south to Rio Grande do Sul. It is rarely found much above three or four hundred feet elevation. Parts of its range overlap those of C. intermedia and C. purpurata and there are naturally occurring hybrids with both species. Cattleya x elegans (C. tigrina x C. purpurata) has been occasionally seen in the trade over the years and artifically made using various forms of C. purpurata. There are several color forms of the species including immaculata, coerulea and alba, representing a dark form with coalesced spots, a pale form with bluish lip, and green flowers with white lip (lacking anthocyanin). The latter have been sold over the years as C. guttata var. alba, which they are not.
