Incoming seed is examined to determine embryo count to help decide how much seed should be sown, and/or which capsule would be the best to sow. Permanent sample slides are also prepared. Each separate package of seed is examined because these are generally from separate capsules, which is what we request from our donors.

Comments:
Packet received was a folded piece of white paper.
Seed appears clean and debris-free.
Seed is light yellow to the naked eye, and lightweight and easily becomes airborne. Only a small quantity of seed was received, so no sample was taken in order to conserve it. Embryos did appear to be present.
Photo is of dry seed in the packet.
