Radiolux Petalumina, from Latin 'radius' (ray), 'lux' (light), and 'petalumina' (luminous petals), is a rare stable species in the Ethereal Petalachordata cluster. This 15–30 cm tall bioluminescent plant has delicate stems with intricately ruffled, translucent petals arranged spirally with undulating edges. It emits blue-green light (420–490 nm) with pale purple to aquamarine hues, interspersed with orange-red pollen speckles. Broad, veined leaves modulate light. Bioluminescence is produced by epidermal photoprotein complexes, enabling aquatic-like undulations to attract nocturnal pollinators. Thriving in cool (0-10°C), humid canopy microclimates, it belongs to Petalachordata, a genus of ten species specialized in light emission for pollination. Ecologically, it serves as a visual and motion cue beacon for moths and bats, optimizing nocturnal pollination.
