1. FURZEnoun

   Gorse; goss.

   Etymology: firs, Saxon.

   The whole plant is very thorny: the flowers, which are of the pea-bloom kind, are disposed in short thick spikes, which are succeeded by short compressed pods, in each of which are contained three or four kidney-shaped seeds. The species are three, each of which grow wild on the heaths and upland-commons in England: the first is sometimes used to make hedges, for which purpose it will do very well for a few years. Philip Miller.

   Carry out gravel to full up a hole,
   Both timber and furzin, the turf and the cole. Thomas Tusser, Husb.

   For fewel, there groweth generally in all parts great store of furze, of which the shrubby sort is called tame, and the better grown French. Richard Carew, Survey of Cornwal.

   From hence uncertain seasons we may know,
   And when to reap the grain, and when to sow,
   Or when to fell the furzes. John Dryden, Virg. Georg.

1. furze

   Ulex (commonly known as gorse, furze, or whin) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. The genus comprises about 20 species of thorny evergreen shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae. The species are native to parts of western Europe and northwest Africa, with the majority of species in Iberia. Gorse is closely related to the brooms and like them has green stems and very small leaves and is adapted to dry growing conditions. However it differs in its extreme thorniness, the shoots being modified into branched thorns 1–4 centimetres (1⁄2–1+1⁄2 inches) long, which almost wholly replace the leaves as the plant's functioning photosynthetic organs. The leaves of young plants are trifoliate, but in mature plants they are reduced to scales or small spines. All the species have yellow flowers, generally showy, some with a very long flowering season.
