Lumina Floralis, from Latin 'lumina' (light) and 'floralis' (flowers), is a rare bioluminescent plant in the Noctiluca Arboreal cluster, reaching 20-40 cm with translucent, ruffled blue-green leaves dotted with orange glandular spots. Its spiraled inflorescence has semi-circular petals fading from coral-pink tips to creamy bases, textured with nodules for light diffusion. Bioluminescence (420-490 nm) arises via luciferin-luciferase reactions in petal surfaces and sporogenic glands, attracting nocturnal cave pollinators for spore dispersal. Native to deep caves (5-20°C), it thrives in stable, humid, low-light environments, supporting pollinator biodiversity and nutrient cycling. It belongs to Noctilucaceae, genus Noctiluca, with 10 species, exemplifying evolved nocturnal signaling in cave flora.
