Juniperus navicularis explained

Juniperus navicularis (syn. Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. transtagana), the Portuguese prickly juniper, is a species of juniper endemic to the southwestern Iberian Peninsula. Although it is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Mediterranean Juniperus oxycedrus,^[1] phylogenetic studies have found the two are not closely related.^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}
