The UBC Herbarium has the world's largest collection of British Columbia vascular plants and is worldwide in scope.

Of the 222,000 vascular plant specimens, about 45% are from British Columbia. About 22% are from the rest of Canada, with the Northwest Territories and Yukon especially well represented. Specimens from the United States make up about 16% of the Collection, with 9% from the five Pacific Coast states (California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska) and 7% from the rest of the United States. Hawaiian plants are especially well represented. About 17% of the Collection is from the rest of the world, with the largest numbers from Great Britain, Finland, China, Australia, Denmark, Japan, South Africa, Taiwan, Russia, Greenland, and Sweden. At present, the Collection includes more than 222,000 accessioned specimens.
