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:
The capsule arrived very moldy. Seed is pale tan to the naked eye, and very clumpy. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Much of its volume is placental material. Medium sized seeds are irregularly shaped, irregularly curved, and have medium sized round embryos centrally located which are 1/4 the length of the seed when present.
