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.

Packet received was a brown envelope.
Capsule had split and its contents have made contact with its exterior.
Seed is white to the naked eye, and somewhat fluffy. Only a small quantity of seed was received. Medium sized seeds are windsock shaped, sometimes curved, and have small sized irregularly-shaped very pale embryos centrally located which are 1/6 the length of the seed.
