Its referring to the glob cluster. A new one for me. I forget the name of the more famous neb up top, its a persons name.

I'm being a bit pedantic here perhaps (pun intended) but it's an open cluster, not a globular. The name you are thinking of is the Gabriela Mistral nebula so called because it resembles the profile of Gabriela Mistral, a Chilean Nobel prize winner.
