Lloyd "Bronco" Reese (July 17, 1920 – October 28, 1981) was an American gridiron football player. He was all-star and Grey Cup champion in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and a National Football League (NFL) champion. Reese played primarily as fullback, but also starred on the offensive line.
A graduate of University of Tennessee, Reese played on the 1943 Patterson Field All-Stars football team.[1] He joined the Chicago Bears for their 1946 championship season, playing three games and rushing 18 times for 84 yards.
In 1948, he joined the Montreal Alouettes, where his 251-pound frame made him the biggest fullback in Canadian pro football.[2][3] Playing a full 12-game season he was selected as an All-Star at guard.[4] In 1949, he played another full sked, helping the Larks to their first ever Grey Cup championship.[5]
Reese died on October 28, 1981, in Dover, Ohio.[6]

Though he played a full season and was "outstanding" in the playoffs, Canadian Rugby Union rules restricted the Alouettes to 5 import players, not the usual 7 under the Big Four rules. Both he and Chuck Anderson were forced to watch the game from the sidelines.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
