Fluorolux Bluerubra, from Latin 'fluor' (light) and 'lux' (brightness) with 'bluerubra' denoting its blue-red pigmentation, is a rare bioluminescent flowering plant in Aqua Luminaceae. It grows 10-30 cm tall, weighing 15-50 g, adapted to tropical rainforest canopy with 15-25°C temperatures. The flower has layered undulated petals: outer blue with red speckles, inner vibrant crimson-orange, velvety with glandular trichomes linked to rhythmic pulsation enhancing bioluminescent signaling. Emission spans 420-490 nm from petal epidermal photoreceptive cells, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats. The genus Fluorolux includes 20 species, notable for light-emitting flowers. Nocturnal pollination relies on pulsating bioluminescence, crucial for canopy biodiversity. Its rarity demands further study of physiology and reproduction in rainforest ecology.
