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:
Seed is medium brown to the naked eye, and free flowing with lots of capsule pieces. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Tiny seeds are short, have one blunt end, and have tiny sized elongated brown embryos centrally located which nearly fill the seed when present. The color of the seed is atypical and is suggestive of capsule spoilage. A large quantity of debris was included with the seed.
