Phosphoraflora Lucentis, named from Latin phosphora ('light-bearing') and lucentis ('shining'), is a rare, protected species in the Lunar Spectra cluster. It features delicate, translucent violet to azure-blue petals with bioluminescent orange spots enhancing nocturnal visibility. The flowers have irregular undulate petals and a central cluster of coiled stamens. Slender stems bear dense whorls of semi-transparent oval leaves with subtle ribbing, supporting the 5-30 cm tall, 50-150 g plant. Bioluminescence occurs at 450–495 nm blue light from photocytes on petals and leaves, intensified by orange phosphorescent proteins. Native to tropical rainforest canopies, it thrives at 15-25°C, swaying with air currents that enhance visual signaling. Belonging to family Phosphoraceae, genus Phosphoraflora (20 species), its luminous flowers attract nocturnal moths for pollination, playing a key role in nocturnal pollination networks and tropical biodiversity.
