The most widespread bog clubmoss, occurring essentially throughout Michigan, and the only species in much of the state; most frequent north of the middle of the Lower Peninsula. In the southern half of the Lower Peninsula, commonly occurring with one or both of the other species and forming baffling hybrids. In a few areas of southern Michigan, very tall plants (to 15 cm) rarely occur. Though diploid, these may be an additional unrecognized entity.
