Spotted Catt Species
 
What are the species of cattleya (alliance too I guess, but differentiate) that are spotted? Picture examples would be cool to post too.

Here are the primary spotted Cattleya species:
C. aclandiae--used in most spotted Catt hybrids
c. guttata/leopoldii
C. schilleriana

Important primary hybrids for spotted catts are:
C. Landate: guttata x aclandiae
Lc. Jungle Elf: esalqueana x aclandiae
C. Facelis: bicolor x aclandiae
C. Brabantiae: aclandiae x loddigesii

Pretty much all of the brasilian bifoliates except those in sections Rhizantha and Intermedia can be spotted. As for a complete list of potentially spotted species:

aclandiae
amethystoglossa
bicolor
elongata
granulosa
guttata
harrisoniana
leopoldii
loddigesii
porphyroglossa
schilleriana
schofeldiana
tenuis
velutina

Those are the species I know to be spotted. I think that there may be occasional clones of C. intermedia with speckles, but it isn't really a breeding characteristic common to the species, and C. harrisoniana and loddigesii are also not really known for breeding spots, though they can be quite speckled, sometimes.
