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 pale tan to the naked eye, and somewhat clumpy. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Tiny seeds are short, sometimes curved, and have tiny sized teardrop-shaped yellow embryos centrally located which nearly fill the seed when present.
