Plants for Pharmacological
Screening
 
| Random | Samples collected with limitation only to avoid duplication of species, sometimes referred to as “biodiversity sampling” or “biodiversity prospecting.” | 
| Systematic | Samples obtained according to phytogeographic and taxonomic criteria, and by emphasis on plant parts most likely to show activity. Cost according to limitations. | 
| Folklore | Collections guided by ethnobotanical data, either by working directly with local practitioners, or by reports in literature. |
