Weingartia cintia was first described (as Cintia knizei) by J. Říha in Kaktusy, 31: 35-39, in 1995 and named after Karel Kníže who discovered it in 1969, near Otavi, in Potosi, Bolivia.

Long thought to be a plant warranting its own genus, DNA studies in recent years have shown this to be closely related to other Weingartias.

A distinctive knobbly and spineless plant with yellow flowers which have long spreading stamens.
