Phosphaflora Lucentis, named from Latin phosphor (light-bearing), flora (flower), and lucentis (glowing), is a 15-30cm bioluminescent plant of the Celestiflorae Petaloid cluster. It features reflexed, layered petaloid flowers with broad undulate petals showing a gradient from deep purple to soft pink and coral near stamen clusters, enhancing light diffusion. Lanceolate leaves with subtle venation alternate along a sturdy stem exhibiting gentle bioluminescent swaying in low light. Luminescence (450-495nm blue-green) arises from a luciferin-luciferase reaction in petals and filament projections. Endemic to tropical rainforest understory (15-30°C, high humidity), it employs nocturnal pollination by moths and bats attracted to its glow. This bioluminescence supports reproduction and herbivore deterrence, highlighting its ecological role.
