it is due to polyembryony.
Occurrence of more than one embryo in a seed is called as polyembryony.
In orange, the nucellar cells, synergid or integument cells develop into a number of embryos of different sizes. e.g., Citrus.
Sometimes formation of more than one egg in an embryo, sac can lead to polyembryony.
