The E-Flora BC maps are generated automatically by our computers from databases of specimen and observation data provided by several data providers. These include the Royal BC Museum (V), UBC and other data providers.

Because we do not produce the maps manually or individually, corrections can only be made to the maps if they are made first to the databases we use. Please report errors or ommissions directly to the data providers so they can correct and update their databases. Our maps will reflect these corrections in subsequent updates provided to us by the data providers.

Contact information for each data providers/institution is provided below.
