Distribution
This is a widely distributed community throughout lowland Britain. It is found in sunny positions in crevices in stone and brick walls. In the south and east it can occur with, or be replaced by, the Parietaria diffusa community (OV41). On walls with a more lime-rich mortar the Asplenium trichomanes - Asplenium ruta-muraria community (OV39) can replace it.
This community is the British equivalent of the Cymbalarietum muralis Görs 1966 syntaxon, which has been described from other parts of Europe.
