In the event that it remains upon (or rather, on the back of) the boundary, at that point it will be mutually claimed by the two landowners and may be alluded to as a “party wall”. To separate between a gathering divider isolating the greenhouses of two properties and a gathering divider consolidating two houses, the Party Wall and so on.
