'''''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 cm long. The [[flower]]s are produced in dense [[inflorescence]]s ([[capitula]]) held above the plant on a 1–30 cm tall stem; the capitula is 1–3 cm in diameter, with numerous tightly packed purple, violet, pink or white flowers.
