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.

Capsule had split and its contents have made contact with its exterior.
Seed is light yellow to the naked eye, and fluffy. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Moderately small seeds are short-rice shaped, straight, and have small sized teardrop-shaped yellow embryos toward the pointed end which are 1/2 the length of the seed when present.
