Cedrus brevifolia (Cyprus cedar) is a narrow endemic species of the Cyprus flora. The range of the species has nowadays been limited to only one population, which is non-uniform and has been restricted to five neighboring stands (patches) in the region of the Pafos forest. Although C. brevifolia is an endemic species with a narrow distributional range, it exhibits high genetic diversity. Based on this result, the species does not appear to be characterized by founder effect. The high genetic...
