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 coffee filter.
Seed appears clean and debris-free.
Seed is dark brown to the naked eye, and free flowing and coarse. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Moderately large seeds are irregularly shaped,some like aibags and some with open ends, sometimes curved, and have moderately large sized oval brown embryos centrally located which are 1/2 the length of the seed. Seeds with bad or no embryos are much smaller.
