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 piece of white paper.
Seed has a small amount of dark debris mixed in.
Seed is pale yellow to the naked eye, and somewhat fluffy. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Moderately small seeds are short-rice shaped, and have moderately small sized oval brownish-yellow embryos centrally located which nearly fill the seed when present. Seeds with bad or no embryos are much smaller.
