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.

Seed looks like it may have been moldy at one point.
Seed is pale yellow to the naked eye, and somewhat clumpy. Only a small quantity of seed was received, so no sample was taken in order to conserve it.
