When is the best time to harvest Gastrodia elata capsules
After the flowers of Gastrodia elata are pollinated, the ovary gradually enlarges, and the capsule is light brown or pink, elongated ovoid, with 6 longitudinal ridges. Each capsule contains 10,000 to 50,000 seeds, with a maximum of 80,000 seeds. The seeds are tiny. They are powder-like, and their size and shape are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Observed under a microscope, mature seeds are spindle-shaped, 0.6 to 1 mm long and 0.14 to 0.2 mm wide. The embryo is 170 to 180 micrometers long. The seed coat is white and semi-transparent, wing-like, composed of parenchyma cells, with no endosperm inside; the embryo is light brown or dark brown. Those without dark brown color are immature seeds, called blighted seeds. The transverse and longitudinal sections of mature Gastrodia elata seeds appear elliptical and circular, respectively, under a microscope.
