a keiki forming from a green seed capsule that is still attached to the inflorescence. On each occasion I checked carefully, and the roots and leaves were definitely emerging from inside the capsule. It was impossible to determine if the young shoot arose from seeds within the capsule, or

It can happen in animals, including people. Women can have moles and tumors in utero containing fetal cells and organs. Once in a blue moon a fetus or part of of one develops inside a fetus. Poor quality control.
