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.

Seed appears clean and debris-free.
Seed is cinnamon brown to the naked eye, and free flowing. Moderately large seeds are windsock shaped, somewhat curved, and have large sized egg-shaped pale embryos centrally located which nearly fill the seed when present. Seeds with bad or no embryos are much smaller.
