Abstract  Nomenclatural corrections and species additions are provided for the published flora of the Kar Plateau, Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The combination Rhizoplaca priestleyi (Dodge) Seppelt is validated to accommodate Omphalodina priestleyi (Dodge) Dodge. Physcia dubia and an undetermined species of Buellia are added to the lichen flora. The lichen parasite Thelidiola caloplacae is considered referable to Muellerella. Aspicilia glacialis is confirmed for the Plateau.
