Phosphorpetalus Lumicorona, from Latin 'phosphor' (light-bearing), 'petalus' (petal), and 'lumicorona' (radiant crown), is a rare bioluminescent shrub in the Noctiflorae Phantasm cluster. It grows 10-25 cm tall with pentamerous, softly undulating deep blue-violet petals, featuring intense orange luminescent highlights at bases and stamen tips. Slender, flexible stems support sparse blue-green leaves with fine venation. Bioluminescence, emitting mainly in the blue spectrum (450-495 nm), arises from luciferin-luciferase reactions in epidermal petal cells, producing a faint pulsing glow. Native to temperate forest canopies (15-25°C), it thrives in filtered light and well-drained organic soils. Taxonomically distinct, related to five species within Noctiflorae. Its nocturnal glow likely attracts moths for pollination. Classified as rare and protected due to limited habitat and ecological role.
