Globularia

	Globularia ''Globularia'' is a genus of about 22 species of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Plantaginaceae, native plant, native to central and southern Europe, Macaronesia, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. They are dense low evergreen mat-forming perennial plant, perennials or subshrubs, with leathery oval leaf, leaves 1–10 cm long. The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences (Head (botany), 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. ''Globularia'' species are used as food plants by the larvae 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 eviden ...
