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.

Packet received was a folded envelope.
Capsule was wet, had been crushed, smelled sour, and was splayed to dry. Cap then had to be scraped.
Material is medium tan to the naked eye, and coarse. Material consists of clumps of pulp which may contain immature seed, possibly embryos, but this is uncertain.
