	~~__NOTOC__{{Plantbox~~		'''''Ulex europaeus''''', '''gorse''', '''furze''' or '''common gorse''', is an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] in the family [[Fabaceae]], native to western [[Europe]] from a northerly point of the [[United Kingdom]] south to [[Portugal]], and westerly point of the [[Republic of Ireland]] east to [[Galicia (Eastern Europe)\|Galicia]] in Poland and Ukraine.
	~~\| latin_name =~~ ''~~LATINNAME~~'' ~~<!--- replace LATINNAME with the actual latin name -->~~
	~~\| common_names = <!--- if multiple~~, ~~list all~~, ~~if none, leave blank -->~~		It grows to {{Convert\|2\|-\|3\|m\|ft\|sigfig=1}} tall. The young stems are green, with the [[shoot]]s and [[leaf\|leaves]] modified into green spines, {{Convert\|1\|-\|3\|cm\|in}} long. Young seedlings produce normal leaves for the first few months; these are trifoliate, resembling a small [[clover]] leaf.
	~~\| growth_habit = ? <!--- tree~~, shrub, ~~herbaceous~~, ~~vine, etc -->~~
	\| ~~high = ? <!~~-~~-- 1m (~~3 ft~~) -->~~		The [[flower]]s are yellow, {{Convert\|1\|-\|2\|cm\|in}} long, with the typical [[pea]]-flower structure; they are produced throughout the year, but mainly in the early [[spring (season)\|spring]]. The [[fruit]] is a [[legume]] (pod) {{Convert\|2\|cm\|in}} long, dark purplish-brown, partly enclosed by the pale brown remnants of the flower; the pod contains 2-3 small blackish [[seed]]s, which are released when the pod splits open in hot weather.
	\| ~~wide~~ = ~~<!--- 65cm (25 inches) -->~~
	\| ~~origin = ? <!--- Mexico~~, ~~S America, S Europe, garden, etc~~ -->		Like many species of [[gorse]], it is often a [[wildfire\|fire]]-climax plant, which readily catches fire but re-grows from the [[root]]s after the fire; the seeds are also adapted to germinate after slight scorching by fire.
	\| ~~poisonous = <!--- indicate parts of plants which~~ are ~~known/thought to be poisonous -->~~
	\| ~~lifespan = <!~~-~~-- perennial, annual, etc -->~~		The species has been introduced to other areas of Europe, and also to the [[Americas]], [[New Zealand]] and [[Australia]],<ref>[http://www.weeds.org.au/natsig.htm Weeds of National Significance]</ref> where it is often considered a [[weed]] and is a serious problem [[invasive species]] in some areas.
	\| ~~exposure = ? <!--- full sun~~, ~~part~~-~~sun~~, ~~semi-shade, shade, indoors, bright filtered~~ (~~you may list more than 1~~) ~~-->~~
	\| ~~water = ? <!--- frequent, regular, moderate, drought tolerant, let dry then soak -->~~
