Gloriosa Luminalis, named from Latin for "glorious" and "light," is a bioluminescent plant from the Phantasmae Notani cluster. It has delicate inflorescences with scalloped petals transitioning from golden yellow centers to coral pink edges, covered with glandular trichomes enhancing light emission. Translucent, broad ovate leaves glow cyan blue with prominent veins. Slender, slightly pubescent stems sway in tropical rainforest canopies. Bioluminescence occurs in epidermal and sub-epidermal layers, emitting blue-green light (450-495 nm) via a luciferin-luciferase system, aiding nocturnal moth pollination. Preferring 15-25°C and partial canopy sun, G. Luminalis supports night-foraging insects through visual signals and nectar. It belongs to Phantasmaceae, genus Gloriosa, sharing traits with 20 species but distinguished by luminescence and petal morphology. It is vulnerable due to habitat sensitivity.
