Soft Globulea. Fl. Aug. Clt. 1774. Shrub 1 foot. 
Cult. Globilea is a very pretty genus of succulent plants. 
Sandy loam and brick rubbish is a good soil for them; and the 
pots should be well drained. Cuttings root easily if laid to dry 
a few days after cutting off, before they are planted, t 
the wound, that they may not rot. A 
plants is on the shelves of a greenhouse,
