This community is dominated by the aromatic species Anthemis cotula. It occurs especially in village fowl runs and near compost or dung heaps where soils are rich in nutrients. The habitat is more trampled and soils are more compacted and wetter than in the other Malvion neglectae associations. Small rills or pools of rain or dung water are present in some places. Phenological optimum of this vegetation type is in full and late summer. It has scattered distribution in the Czech Republic. Anthemis cotula is an endangered species which declines with urbanization of villages.
