<p><strong>Bruce's Clubmoss</strong> is a natural F1 hybrid formed by the crossing of <em><strong>L. appressa&nbsp;</strong></em>(Chapman) Cranfill&nbsp;&amp; <em><strong>L. prostrata </strong></em>(R.M. Harper) Cranfill, though some sources erroneously list the parent species as <em><strong>L. alopecuroides</strong></em> (L.) Cranfill&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;<em><strong>L. prostrata</strong></em>.&nbsp; &nbsp;The hybrid could potentially be found where both parental species co-occur.&nbsp; The epithet honors American Botanist&nbsp;<strong>James G. Bruce</strong> (1942- )</p>
