Luminoflora Stellae, meaning 'light flower of the stars,' is a bioluminescent species in the Luminous Petalaceae cluster. It features delicate radial symmetry with elongated, translucent blue petals bearing red-orange bioluminescent glands emitting light at 450-495 nm, producing a gentle azure glow. The densely clustered stamens have bright anthers contrasting with petals. Standing 10-25 cm tall, its slender stem supports leaves adapted for humid tropical cloud forests (10-20°C). Exhibiting light-responsive swaying to optimize pollinator exposure, it thrives in montane understories, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats. Taxonomically in Petalaceae with 10 related species, its specialized luminescent tissues are vital for ecosystem biodiversity. Endangered, it signals cloud forest health through its glowing display.
