Question

The label of the specimen in herbarium sheet should indicate

• A. Scientific name
• B. Time of collection
• C. Name of collector
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens. These specimens may be whole plants or plant parts. These will usually be in a dried form mounted on a sheet. The specimens are stored with a data label. The label describes useful information including the plants' scientific name, the origin of the collection, the date and time of collection and the name of the collector.
Herbariums are essential for the study of plant taxonomy, the study of geographic distributions and the stabilizing of nomenclature. Specimens housed in herbaria may be used to identify the flora of an era.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
