Gorse DARTMOOR WILDERNESS PLANT, One of the glories of the countryside at this time of year is the gorse, it has a multitude of perhaps surprising uses for both animal and human species! In Devon we have two different types of gorse – common or European gorse Ulex europaeus and western gorse U. gallii. Common gorse, also called furze (and in Devon ‘vuzz’) or whin, is in flower almost throughout the year, hence the expression: “When furze is out of bloom, kissing’s out of fashion”. The much smaller western gorse flowers in late summer/autumn (July-Oct).
