Luminiflora Luminaris, named from Latin 'luminis' (light) and 'flora' (flowers), is a bioluminescent plant with translucent petals in layered whorls, showing a blue-to-orange gradient and pinpoint glowing spots. Its inflorescence has amber-light-emitting bulbous anthers, contrasted by veined leaves with faint bluish-green luminescence. The slender stem supports flower clusters in tropical rainforest canopies at 5–30 cm. Bioluminescence results from luciferin-luciferase reactions emitting blue-green light (420–490 nm), attracting nocturnal moth and beetle pollinators. Taxonomically in the near-threatened cluster Luminis Scintillanta (10 species), it likely represents a novel genus within light-emitting angiosperms. Thriving at 20–30°C upper canopies, it enhances nocturnal biodiversity via co-evolved visual signaling.
