[edit] Taxonomy

On the one hand this species is more commonly placed (either explictly or implicitly) in Thespesia (as in the Wikipedia page for Thespesia); on the other hand it appears that the IUCN Red List uses the old placement in Atkinsia. I suggest a redirect to Thespesia cubensis. (Google Search turns up more references for Atkinsia, but the number for either name is small.)
