So I was curious as to the difference between the Alocasia zebrina and the Alocasia "Tigrina" and thought I'd share with you guys as I found it pretty interesting:

  Both the Alocasia zebrina reticulata form and the form sold as Alocasia Tigrina Superba appear to be nothing more than sports of the scientifically described species Alocasia zebrina. 

Some sources indicate "Alocasia tigrina" is a species name and attempt to display it in italics but according to aroid botanist Pete Boyce in Singapore there is no such plant as "Alocasia tigrina" in science, "The name Alocasia tigrina does not exist. It has been applied to Alocasia zebrina in the trade for the clone with the very well-marked petioles.  Alocasia zebrina is endemic to the Philippines and restricted to the islands of Luzon, Mindanao, Leyte, Samar, Biliran and Alabat. It is easily distinguished from all other Philippine Alocasia species by the rather narrowly sagittate leaves with striped petioles and rather long acute posterior lobes bearing lamina to the sinus but not or only very narrowly peltate." 
  A sagittate leaf is one that is arrow shaped.  Peltate refers to the position the petiole is attached to the leaf blade near the center.  The petioles of Alocasia zebrina are virtually identical to that of Alocasia zebrina reticulata form but the leaves are quite different.
