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:
Packet received was a folded coffee filter.
Capsule had split and its contents have made contact with its exterior.
Seed is yellow to the naked eye, and free flowing. Medium sized seeds are long-rice shaped, sometimes curved, and do not appear to have embryos. Because there is some questionable content of the seed coats, the seed will be sown anyway.
