Siamani twins . I'll try and plant and see if they can separate themselves, or just keep moistened for now and see if they separate after some time. cheers,Fex-

Some plants regularly produce polyembryonic seeds and I'm guessing that is what is happening here.
Most citrus seeds contain 3 or 4 embryos and, even more interesting, usually only 1 is the result of fertilisation. The others are clones of the mother
