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:

Capsule had split and its contents have made contact with its exterior. Interior appears mouldy.
Seed is off-white to the naked eye, and very clumpy. Medium sized seeds are windsock shaped, irregularly curved, and have no embryos.
