Luminis Floragloria, named from Latin 'luminis' (light) and 'floragloria' (glorious flower), is a radiant aquatic plant with translucent, ruffled petals arranged radially, exhibiting a bioluminescent gradient from deep blue (420-490nm) at the tips to orange-yellow near the base. It grows 10-25cm tall on slender, flexible stems adapting to underwater currents near hydrothermal vents (20-30°C). Sparse, membranous leaves optimize aquatic function. Bioluminescence stems from photocytes along petal veins via a luciferin-luciferase reaction, likely chemically stimulated by hydrothermal ambient chemistry. Native to nutrient-rich, low-light vent ecosystems, it attracts nocturnal aquatic pollinators and belongs to the Herbaceous Scintillans cluster, a deep-sea bioluminescent flora genus with unique traits. Bioluminescence likely enhances pollination by signaling nocturnal marine invertebrates.
