Description

Späth described the tree as having an uninterrupted, very dense, strongly branched, globose crown with firm, coriaceous shining leaves, but very different from those of 'Umbraculifera'. The leaves were said to be like those of 'Berardii'.[2]

Cultivation

No specimens are known to survive. At the bottom of a 'Globosa' herbarium specimen from Germany a small sketch of a tree labelled U. procera cv. globosa, which stood in the Hortus Nymphenburg, Munich, in the mid-20th century, shows a rounded lollipop form on a long bare trunk.[3] Its leaves, however, do not resemble those of 'Berardii'.
