For the UBC (Vancouver, BC) herbarium data go to
http://herbie.zoology.ubc.ca/~botany/herbarium/search.php?db=vwsp.fp7 
They have 12,640 Asteraceae specimens from British Columbia in their
database.

The Consortium of the Pacific Northwest Herbaria 
http://www.pnwherbaria.org/ 
lists 2,145 specimens of Asteraceae from BC.

Does anyone know why Canada has provided so little vascular plant 
data to GBIF? Maybe this applies to other groups, but plants are 
mostly what I find myself searching for. Just as an example, this map 
http://tinyurl.com/333zglu makes it look as if the whole order 
Asterales virtually drops out at the 49th parallel, which I somehow 
don't think is the case .
