Flora Luminae, from Latin 'light-bearing flower,' is part of the Galacticae Petalia cluster, known for bioluminescence. It features semi-translucent, radially arranged petals with bluish hues and iridescent orange spots near reproductive parts. Elliptical, serrated, deep green leaves show bioluminescent vein flecks. The slender stems sway gently in tropical rainforest canopies where it grows 15-30 cm tall, favoring 15-30°C. Bioluminescence, from photoprotein complexes emitting blue light (450-495 nm), attracts nocturnal pollinators like moths and beetles. Weighing 5-25g, it enhances night pollination. With 50 known varieties and endangered status, further study on reproductive biology and conservation is vital.
