Distribution

This is a weed community that is associated with annual arable crops on light, well-drained, fertile soils, typically occurring patchily within and at the edges of such crops. It occurs widely in southern and eastern Britain and locally in coastal arable fields elsewhere.
This community is essentially the same as the Veronico - Lamietum hybridi assemblage of Kruseman & Vlieger 1939, though Lamium hybridum is not always present in the British community.
