According to the locals, hundreds of years ago people planted succulents along the dike to prevent landslides and floods. They planted them in their garden for firewood.

Unlike succulents in the North, yellow succulents are called garden incense by people in the Central region. This species belongs to the same genus as the big-fruited cedarwood and the bird's-eye incense. These trees do not have precious wood like the white milkweed in the North.
