The analysis of variability of four intergenic spacers of chloroplast DNA in the endangered closely related species of junipers — Juniperus excelsa, J. polycarpos, and J. foetidissima in the northern limits of their distribution—. Caucasus and Crimea was performed. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed a high degree of differentiation of the three taxa (GCT = 0.9905, P < 0.0001). Seven haplotypes have been identified in total. The population of J. foetidissima from Armenia is characteriz
