Luminiflora Aurealis, meaning light-bearing golden flower, is a bioluminescent species in the Noctiluca Arboreal cluster. It grows 10-25 cm tall with translucent, undulating petals showing a pale blue to soft orange gradient, covered in glandular dots emitting 470-530 nm light, visible as teal-green hues. Petals have orange ventral veining and radial symmetry highlighting central reproductive globular anthers on slender filaments. Semi-transparent, finely textured leaves and a slender, flexible stem enable light-responsive movements, aiding nocturnal signaling. Native to temperate forest understories (15-25°C), it serves as a nocturnal beacon for moth and bioluminescent beetle pollinators. Classified in a distinct genus within a specialized luminescent flora family, it is endangered due to habitat specificity and limited species (10 known). Pollination is primarily entomophilous, relying on light cues in dim environments.
