The UBC Herbarium has the largest collection of British Columbia plants, as might be expected, but is worldwide in scope. The vascular plant collection contains over 217,000 specimens. Due primarily to the collections of Dr. W. B. Schofield, the bryophyte collection is one of the largest in North America, with about 227,000 specimens. The algae collection, of over 67,000 specimens, includes the world's largest collections of Alaskan and British Columbian seaweeds, largely due to the efforts of Dr. R. F. Scagel and his many students and colleagues. The lichen collection includes more than 36,000 specimens and the (other) fungi collection more than 14,000 specimens.
