In the populations of Taxus baccata of Foothills and
Inside Mountain Dagestan, we have studied intra- and
interpopulation variability of morphological characters
of yew berry. The article has a contribution of
interpopulation differences in the feature of "diameter
of funnel" with the highest rates in Buynaksk
population and dependency of the form of yew berry
from this feature. According to the results of
discriminant analysis, we have revealed a distinction in
populations on this basis, although the classification
matrix has not given 100% of the forecast for any of
them. It is found, that the seeds of Khunzah population
have relatively large dimensions and yew berry has
more flattened shape compared to piedmont
populations, while the differences in populations based
on seeds are more pronounced than based on yew
berry at low volatility of the characteristics of the first
indicators. It is shown, that the characteristics of seeds
and yew berry of Khunzakh population indicate the
presence of certain genetic differences between
populations inside mountain and foothills, and that the
higher dissemination activity of first population is
aimed at self-preservation, due to the less favorable
conditions for the species. It is expected that the low
variability of the average values for yew berries of
cypress characteristics indicates the stability of the soil
and climatic conditions of its habitats
