El enebro común (Juniperus communis subsp. hemisphaerica) es ... de piorno serrano (Cytisus purgans) o enebro rastrero (Juniperus communis subsp. alpina).


Juniperus communis subsp. alpina – Alpine Juniper (syn. J. c. subsp. nana, J. c. var. saxatilis). Usually a prostrate ground-hugging shrub, with leaves 3–8 mm long; found in subarctic areas and high altitude alpine zones in temperate areas.
Juniperus communis subsp. alpina var. alpina – Greenland, Europe and Asia
Juniperus communis subsp. alpina var. megistocarpa – Eastern Canada (doubtfully distinct from var. alpina)
Juniperus communis subsp. alpina var. jackii – Western North America (doubtfully distinct from var. alpina)
Some botanists treat subsp. alpina at the lower rank of variety, in which case the correct name is Juniperus communis var. saxatilis, though the name Juniperus communis var. montana is also seen.

Repanda juniper


Explanation:
One way to handle plant and animal names is to type the Spanish name Enebro rastrero in Google, and then you will get the scientific name, Juniperus communis Repanda, so it is indeed a common juniper, however, a different variety. Then type the scientific name Juniperus communis Repanda in google, and you will get several hits for Repanda juniper, which is a dwarf, ground cover type variety of the common juniper, and I've had enough botany to know that repanda means creeping (rastrero), however, Repanda juniper seems to be the accepted common name.
