Assertion [A] : Databases of the Digital Herbarium simplify taxonomical references. Reason [R] : Databased images cannot help in confirming a specimen’s historical collection data or location.
[A] is true, but [R] is false
A herbarium is a collection of pressed, dried and labelled plant specimens. A digital herbarium stores high-resolution images of these sheets along with their label data in searchable databases.
The assertion is true: such databases let taxonomists check identifications, nomenclature and type specimens online without handling the physical sheets, which simplifies taxonomic reference work.
The reason is false: every databased image carries the specimen label, so it actually helps confirm when, where and by whom the specimen was collected.
Hence, [A] is true, but [R] is false.
