Luminoflora Incandescens, named from Latin 'lumin' (light) and 'incandescens' (glowing), is a rare bioluminescent marine cave flora. It reaches 15-30 cm in height and weighs 15-50 g, featuring a spiral rosette of semi-translucent, undulating petal-like structures. The adaxial surfaces have a warm amber-orange hue with luminescent speckles, while the abaxial areas emit cyan-blue bioluminescence (420-490 nm). Sturdy, flexible stems enable aquatic undulation for nutrient absorption in 20-30°C waters. Bioluminescence likely arises from a luciferin-luciferase reaction in vesicles on petal membranes, attracting nocturnal marine pollinators such as crustaceans and bioluminescent mollusks. Classified in the Nebulorb Gloriosa cluster of 10 species, it is adapted to marine caves and contributes to the cave’s bioluminescent ecosystem. The species is protected due to its rarity and ecological importance.
