ERC721

Phosphorablossom Luminae, from Latin 'phosphora' (light-bearer) and 'luminae' (luminous), is a rare stable species in the Nereid Petalus cluster, notable for bioluminescence in the 450-495 nm blue spectrum. It grows 30-60 cm tall with slender, semi-translucent stems and dense, radially symmetric undulate petals that shift from deep cobalt blue edges to radiant orange cores, where luciferin reactions concentrate near vascular tissues. Granular glands on petals facilitate light emission. Its aquatic-like undulation disperses light rhythmically in tropical rainforest canopies at 0–10°C. Weighing 150-300 g, it thrives in humid shaded microclimates. Belonging to family Nereidaceae, genus Petalus, with 20 luminescent species, it relies on nocturnal bioluminescence to attract specialized moths and bats for pollination, guiding them and synchronizing timing. This mutualism sustains nocturnal canopy biodiversity, and its glow also deters herbivory via aposematic signaling.
