>Oranges sometimes exhibit bizarre manifestation of sexual dimorphism. The females of this species measure about the size of ordinary oranges, while males would be tiny. This dramatic disparity in size is largely due to the species’ parasitic mating practices in which males attach themselves to females and become permanently fused to them through tissue and interconnected circulatory systems.
You have a navel orange. This is characteristic of them.
“This variety first was caused by a mutation in an orange tree, and first appeared in the early 19th century at a monastery in Bahia, Brazil.[1] The mutation caused the orange to develop a second fruit at its base, opposite the stem, embedded within the peel of the primary orange.[”
