Juniperus sabina var. balkanensis R.P.Adams et Tashev is a morphologically cryptic but genetically distinct tetraploid lineage, hypothesized to have originated through ancient hybridization between maternal diploid Juniperus sabina var. sabina and a paternal ancestor related to Juniperus thurifera L. Although its presence in Croatia has been confirmed, morphological and anatomical variability along the Dinaric range remains poorly understood. In this study, we analysed three natural populations from the Croatian Dinaric Alps (Biokovo and two sites on Velebit), comprising a total of 35 individuals. The aim was to assess intra- and inter-population variability, sex-based differences, and population × sex interactions, focusing on five vegetative traits and four cone traits. In addition, we examined how geographic position, elevation, and environmental gradients form morphological variation. Our results revealed significant differentiation among individuals within populations for all measured traits, although variability was generally low to moderate, consistent with previous genetic studies. Statistically significant differences between populations were confirmed for four traits. Multivariate analyses provided further insight: PCA identified scale leaf number and length, as well as cone size and seed number, which are the traits most responsible for population differentiation, while RDA demonstrated that these differences are structured by environmental and spatial gradients rather than random variation. Low to moderate intra-population variability and pronounced inter-population differences may reflect limited gene flow, clonal propagation, and inbreeding within fragmented habitats. Sex-based differences were observed in scale leaf number and length; however, given the limited sample size and the presence of both monoecious and dioecious shrubs, further research is needed to draw robust conclusions regarding sexual dimorphism. Overall, our findings contribute to a clearer understanding of the morphological variability of J. sabina var. balkanensis. Given its restriction to high-altitude, xerothermic habitats in the Dinaric Alps, this variety represents a valuable component of mountain biodiversity and should be considered in future conservation efforts targeting relict shrubland communities.
