Ulex gallii
Ulex gallii, Western Gorse or Dwarf Furze is an evergreen shrub in the pea family (Fabaceae), native to the Atlantic coasts of western Europe: southern Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man, western France and north-western Spain. It favours acidic heathy soils and is frequently found in exposed maritime and montane environments. It is more common in the west of its distribution; in eastern England it is replaced in similar habitats by the closely related Dwarf Furze (Ulex minor), with very little overlap in the distribution of the two species.
Ulex gallii is usually 10 to 50 centimetres (4 to 20 in) tall although it may grow up to 2 metres (7 ft). The stems are modified into spines, mostly about 1 centimetre (0.4 in) long, but with some regularly spaced recurved spines of about 3 centimetres (1 in). Like other members of the genus Ulex it has trifoliate leaves as a seedling, but later the leaves are reduced to small scales or spines. The stems are green, and almost wholly replace the leaves as the plant's functioning photosynthetic organs.

HOW TO IDENTIFY COMMON GORSE
This is one species that you will see everywhere and it will often be the dominant species. Common gorse (Ulex europaeus) is a member of the pea family Fabaceae and like other members of its family its roots can fix nitrogen, and thus live in places that most plants would struggle. Note the grooves along the spines. That's something you don't see in other gorse species in the UK. The similar western gorse (Ulex gallii) has mostly smooth spines and lives in western Britain. Dwarf Gorse (Ulex minor) which I've read only grows to about a metre high at most, though usually just 30cm. Tends to live in south western Britain.

Eating Gorse Flowers
#shorts The genus Ulex comprises about 20 species, but only 3 can be found in the UK and Ireland: common gorse (Ulex europaeus), western gorse (Ulex gallii) and dwarf gorse (Ulex minor). All of them have edible flowers and are very similar in taste. The bright yellow blossoms of gorse are one of the few flowers available in the winter menu. The mild coconut scent infuses well in liquids and the flowers are ideal for use in baking for decoration purposes. Do not over eat the flowers, as the plant contains slightly toxic alkaloids. The long pods and dark seeds are not edible, either raw or cooked.

The yellow flower petals of gorse bush or shrub are edible. Ulex minor, Dwarf Furze or Dwarf Gorse is an evergreen dwarf shrub in the family Fabaceae, native to eastern England, France, Spain and Portugal. It is restricted to lowland heathland habitats.
It normally grows about 30 centimetres (10 in) tall, although in shaded, ungrazed conditions it may reach 1 metre (40 in). It is a low-growing shrub, forming small bushes or often growing mingled with heather. The leaves are limited to scales or small spines, and the shoots are modified into rather soft, green, densely crowded spines, about 1 cm (0.4 in) long.
The flowers are yellow and edible, 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) long, with the typical pea-flower structure; they are produced principally in the late summer and autumn, rarely before July. The fruit is a legume (pod), partly enclosed by the pale brown remnants of the flower.
Due to its relatively soft spines, Dwarf Furze is readily grazed by livestock and wild herbivores.
The distributions of Dwarf Furze and its close relative Western Gorse (Ulex gallii) hardly overlap, even in similar habitats.

The genus Ulex comprises about 20 species, but only 3 can be found in the UK and Ireland: common gorse (Ulex europaeus), western gorse (Ulex gallii) and dwarf gorse (Ulex minor). All of them have edible flowers and are very similar in taste.
The bright yellow blossoms of gorse are one of the few flowers available in the winter menu. The mild coconut scent infuses well in liquids and the flowers are ideal for use in baking for decoration purposes.
Do not over eat the flowers, as the plant contains slightly toxic alkaloids. The long pods and dark seeds are not edible, either raw or cooked.

I thought I would take a little time out in my local nature reserve to show you how to collect, Process and make gorse tea ! Its a fairly easy and straight forward process with very satisficing results.
Common gorse is a large, evergreen shrub, covered in needle-like leaves and distinctive, coconut-perfumed, yellow flowers during the spring and summer. There are three similar species of gorse in the UK: Common gorse is widespread and flowers form January to June; Western gorse flowers in late summer and autumn...
Gorse can flower at any time of year. There are three species of this thorny evergreen growing in the UK, Common, Western and Dwarf Gorse. They are members of Faboideae, a subfamily of Fabaceae which is the Pea family. Only the flowers and flower buds are considered edible and in small quantities. The peas and pods are toxic.
I hope you find this help full and hopefully it may encourage you to go out and try it for your self.

Pinks, purples and yellows are the colours of the season on Cornish heathland.
Western gorse flowers from July to September is a deeper yellow colour, and lower growing than the earlier flowering Gorse (furze). Often grows with heather a beautiful colour combination. Looks like a Kurt Jackson painting.
Seen here along the coastal path between Morgan Porth and the Bedruthan Steps.

Ulex gallii
Ulex gallii, Western Gorse or Dwarf Furze is an evergreen shrub in the pea family (Fabaceae), native to the Atlantic coasts of western Europe: southern Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man, western France and north-western Spain. It favours acidic heathy soils and is frequently found in exposed maritime and montane environments. It is more common in the west of its distribution; in eastern England it is replaced in similar habitats by the closely related Dwarf Furze (Ulex minor), with very little overlap in the distribution of the two species.
Ulex gallii is usually 10 to 50 centimetres (4 to 20 in) tall although it may grow up to 2 metres (7 ft). The stems are modified into spines, mostly about 1 centimetre (0.4 in) long, but with some regularly spaced recurved spines of about 3 centimetres (1 in). Like other members of the genus Ulex it has trifoliate leaves as a seedling, but later the leaves are reduced to small scales or spines. The stems are green, and almost wholly replace the leaves as the plant's functioning photosynthetic organs.
