    Siam orange (Citrus nobilis Lour.) from Kampar has a polyembryonic seed, the phenomenon of development of more than one embryo in a seed. One embryo derived from the fusion of two gametes (sexual) and the other derived from nucellar cells (asexual). Polyembryonic seeds will produce apomictic seedlings that have resistance to pests and diseases with a better root system that can improve the needs of seeds in citrus propagation of siam orange from Kampar. The aims of this study were to investigate the characteristics of poliembryonic seedlings and also to calculate the percentage of polyembryonic seedlings. Data was quantitatively analyzed by calculating the percentage of polyembryonic and germination seedlings. The results showed that the percentage of the germination seeds was 43.75% and the polyembryonic seeds was 68.4% which consisted of two to three seedlings.
