When people in Taniao build houses, they also plant livagon. After the bushes grow, the villagers use the center branches as the points of reference, dividing property along a straight line connecting these center branches. The livagon is a hardy plant, while in comparison, explains the shaman, "stone markers may topple, and wood ones may rot."
當大鳥部落人們蓋房子，同時種下文茱蘭，隨著文茱蘭長大、向四周擴展成圓形草叢，村民則以中間的樹枝為準，拉出直線，就是中界線，文茱蘭非常耐活，「石頭會倒，木頭會爛」，老祭司說，當界標用的文茱蘭是不可以亂種的。
