The biometrical comparison of nine populations of Juniperus phoenicea from the western part of the
species geographic range was the aim of the present study. Seven features of the cones and seeds, two of the
shoots and leaves and eight proportions were studied biometrically and analysed using statistical methods.
Two of analyzedpopulations, supposedto be representatives of J. phoenicea subsp. phoenicea, are closely related
each other. The seven other populations representing J. phoenicea subsp. turbinata, appearedmuch more variable
andd ifferedeach other at higher level. The results confirm the biochemical andgenetic differentiation of
the species, however, it can partly be an effect of smaller number of comparedpopulations of subsp. phoenicea.
The individuals included into each of distinguished subspecies are different and only a few individuals of
subsp. turbinata from the Atlantic coast in Portugal were foundto be joinedinto the group of subsp. phoenicea.
The differences between populations of subsp. turbinata are higher than between those of subsp. phoenicea.
The most distant population of the subsp. turbinata, from Cabo Rizuto in Italy appears also the most different
from all the other. It results probably from the isolation for a longer time.
