'''''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.

G. alypum, Linn. Lvs. obovate-oblong, mucronate or 3-toothed at apex. Medit. regions.—Cult, years ago in S. Calif, by Franceschi. who says it is covered with fls. all winter; but not now in cult. Also cult, abroad under glass.—G. bellidifolia, Saliab. (syn. G. spinosa).— G. spinosa. Linn. One ft. and more: radical lvs. obovate, attenuate into petiole. 3-7-toothed at apex; st.-lvs. lanceolate and sessile: head larger than in G. vulgaris; calyx 2-lipped, the tube ciliate and throat barbed; upper lip of corolla 2-parted, lower 3-parted.
