What is another word for furze?
Pronunciation: [fˈɜːz] (IPA) 
Furze is a spiny shrub that is also known by several other names, including gorse, whin, and prickly broom. Gorse is commonly found in Europe and western Asia, while it's also found in Africa and North America. The shrub is characterized by its bright yellow flowers that bloom in the spring and summer. Gorse is often associated with the moorlands, heaths and sandy soils of the British Isles, while it also grows in maritime areas. The plant's prickly leaves and stems make it unattractive to grazing animals, but it provides an important habitat for many small mammals, insects and birds.
