Luminflora Scintillans, named from Latin lumen (light) and flora (flower) with scintillans (sparkling), is a bioluminescent flowering plant featuring translucent, undulating petals with ruffled margins resembling aquatic seaweed. Petals show translucent blues and violets with warm golden specks near the corolla base, supported by fine venation enabling bioluminescence. Slender, flexible stems allow aquatic undulation in abyssal ocean habitats. Its 420-490 nm blue glow originates from cellular photoproteins at the petal base, powered by luciferin enzymatic reactions adapted to 0-10°C. Native to Abyssal Ocean Gardens, it grows 15-30 cm tall, weighs 10-25 g, and thrives in stable, low-temperature high-pressure environments. As a member of Noctiflorae Phantasm, it uses bioluminescent floral structures to attract specialized nocturnal aquatic pollinators, facilitating pollination and sustaining abyssal marine biodiversity.
