Maroon Mountain is situated on the west coast of St. Croix. Its name refers to the maroons (escaping slaves), who hid there when fleeing from the plantations. The maroons used the plants mentioned in this series of drawings in their acts of resistance. Some of the language has been borrowed from botanical encyclopedias.
