'''''Globularia''''' is a [[genus]] of about 22 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Plantaginaceae]], native to central and southern [[Europe]], [[Macaronesia]], northwest [[Africa]] and southwest [[Asia]]. They are dense low [[evergreen]] mat-forming [[herb]]s or [[subshrub]]s, with leathery oval [[leaf|leaves]] 1–10&nbsp;cm long. The [[flower]]s are produced in dense [[inflorescence]]s ([[capitula]]) held above the plant on a 1–30&nbsp;cm tall stem; the capitula is 1–3&nbsp;cm in diameter, with numerous tightly packed purple, violet, pink or white flowers.
 +
 +
''Globularia'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including ''[[Coleophora|Coleophora virgatella]]''.
 +
 +
Several members of the genus, such as ''[[Globularia cordifolia]]'' and ''[[Globularia punctata]]'', are cultivated and sold for garden use.
 +
 +
Under the old [[Cronquist system]] of plant classification, they were treated in their own family, '''Globulariaceae''', but genetic evidence has shown that the genus belongs in the family [[Plantaginaceae]].
 +
 +
Most species are known by the scientific name as ''Globularia''. They are also sometimes known by the name "globe daisy", a confusing name as they are not closely related to [[daisy|daisies]].
