gorse
n.
prickly bush with yellow flowers (native to Europe)
Gorse
Gorse (Ulex) comprises a
genus of about 20 species of
evergreen shrubs in the subfamily
Faboideae of the pea family
Fabaceae, native to western
Europe and northwest
Africa, with the majority of species in
Iberia. Other common names for gorse include furse, whin and furze. Gorse is closely related to the
brooms, and like them, has green stems and very small leaves and adapts to dry growing conditions, but differs in its extreme spininess, with the leaves being modified into 1-4 cm long spines. All the species have yellow flowers, some with a very long flowering season.
