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 envelope.
Seed has bits of capsule debris mixed in.
Seed is white to the naked eye, and very clumpy. Moderately small seeds are windsock shaped, sometimes curved. It is very unlikely that there are any embryos in this seed, however there are a few seeds that have a suggestive shape. We have sown it anyway.
