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 small amount of dark debris mixed in.
Seed is off-white to the naked eye, and fluffy. Medium sized seeds are long and thin, irregularly curved, and have medium sized barely visible, very pale embryos centrally located which are 2/3 the length of the seed when present. Paleness of the embryos is not normal, but we will sow it anyway.
