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 off-white to the naked eye, and free flowing, but contains much capsule debris. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Small seeds are short, straight, and have small sized elongated yellow embryos centrally located which nearly fill the seed when present.
