Ulex europeeus. Gorse; Whin; Furze. (Fig. 54.) 
A perennial leguminous shrub, native of northern Europe, where it is highly 
esteemed as a forage plant for dry and barren hillsides, in places too steep or 
where the soil is too thin to admit of the cultivation of better ones, In some 
parts of Ireland and Wales the farm horses are almost entirely maintained upon 
it during the winter months, the erushed 2-year-old branches being fed at the 
rate of about 40 pounds per day. Twenty or 25 pounds of seed are required for 
an acre. It is a valuable forage plant to sow on barren hillsides, Sheep are 
very fond of and fatten quickly upon it.
