Luminaflora incandescens, named from Latin for light and glowing, is a radiantly bioluminescent aquatic flora with translucent, membranous undulating petals arranged in a layered whorl around a raised central disc. Petals feature a pale opalescent core with vivid orange flecks and filamentous stamen-pistil structures. The flexible, resilient stem, 10-30 cm tall, adapts to deep ocean reef habitats (0-10°C). Its soft blue-green bioluminescence (470-530 nm) arises from luciferin-luciferase in epidermal cells, triggered by mechanical or circadian stimuli. Ecologically, it attracts nocturnal marine pollinators for cross-pollination, co-evolving with bioluminescent crustaceans and mollusks. Weighing 50-150 g and classified in Photosynthetica Luminescentia, it enriches reef biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem stability.
