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 is golden brown to the naked eye, and very clumpy. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Moderately large seeds are long and thin, straight, and have medium sized pale elongated embryos centrally located which are 1/8 the length of the seed when present. A stray Coryanthes/Stanhopea seed can be seen in slide. If it was accidentally introduced in the slide-making process, it does not indicate that the seed used for sowing contained any. |

Seed is golden brown to the naked eye, and free flowing. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Medium sized seeds are windsock shaped, somewhat curved, and have small sized egg-shaped embryos centrally located which are 1/5 the length of the seed. Seeds with bad or no embryos are much smaller. |
