ULEX. Gorses. [Fabaceae]


Three species of Ulex, all native, are recorded in Britain, Gorse (U. europaeus), Western Gorse (U. gallii) and Dwarf Gorse (U. minor).

Only one miner, the agromyzid Agromyza johannae, is recorded on Ulex in Britain and elsewhere.

See GENISTA.

No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Ulex in Britain.
