  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>The Antarctic endemics <jats:italic>Umbilicaria</jats:italic><jats:italic>kappenii</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>U. antarctica</jats:italic> are morphologically close, but mainly distinguished by their reproductive strategies. <jats:italic>Umbilicaria antarctica</jats:italic> propagates by means of thalloconidia. <jats:italic>Umbilicaria kappenii</jats:italic> lacks thalloconidia, but exhibits a variety of asexual propagules: soredia, adventive lobes and thallyles. We have now employed molecular data from three gene regions to examine the phylogenetic relationships of these two morphotypes. The phylogeny of ten samples and four outgroup taxa (<jats:italic>Umbilicaria decussata</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>U. krascheninnikovii</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>U. nylanderiana</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>U. umbilicarioides</jats:italic>) was reconstructed using Bayesian and maximum parsimony analyses of a combined data set of nuclear ITS, nuclear LSU rDNA and mitochondrial LSU rDNA sequences. Forty two new partial sequences of 14 specimens were generated. Our results indicate that all samples morphologically referred to <jats:italic>U. antarctica</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>U. kappenii</jats:italic> form a monophyletic group. A topology separating the two morphotypes as phylogenetic species is significantly rejected with the data set. It is proposed to place <jats:italic>U. kappenii</jats:italic> into synonymy with <jats:italic>U. antarctica</jats:italic>.</jats:p>
