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.

Medium sized seeds are long and very thin, straight, and have moderately small sized elongated very pale embryos centrally located which are 1/2 the length of the seed when present. Though it's unlikely the seeds are viable, we are sowing them.
