Oranges don’t exist naturally, was the point I was making. Theyre a hybrid, derived at least partly from pomelo.

You are right, it's just that in Spanish a "pomelo" is a grapefruit, and I was unaware of the whole rabbit hole that is the hybridwtion of the pomelo, mandarin, citrus and all that. I deleted my old comment because I was just confused.

No worries, I don’t know all the details and looking more deeply, it looks to be more complicated than I was remembering too.
