Luminflora Ignitela, from Latin 'lumen' (light) and 'ignitela' (spark), features elongated, undulate petals with curled tips, radially arranged and shaded from deep magenta-red bases to translucent azure tips, covered in glandular trichomes. Its slender, pliant stem supports the flower above a rosette of small elliptic leaves with faint venation. Bioluminescence emits 470-530 nm blue-green light via luciferin-luciferase enzymatic reactions in petal tissues, contrasting with warmer pigmentation. Native to tropical rainforest understory, it thrives in humid, shaded 20-30°C environments, reaching 10-25 cm. Belonging to genus Petalum (family Glimmera), it is among 20 bioluminescent species. It facilitates nocturnal pollination by moths through light emission and gentle motion. Its vulnerable status necessitates tropical understory conservation.
