Dets
Dets represent the determinations that can be found on herbarium sheets. When taxonomists work on a
classification, they sometimes write what they think a specimen is (e.g. the name of its Species) on the
specimen sheet. Although these determinations do not carry classification information and should not
be used in a classification, they provide an insight into what a particular taxonomist was thinking when
creating his classification. Prometheus therefore offers ways to record these determinations (Figure 32).
