Description

Luminiflora Azurea, named from Latin 'lumen' (light) and 'flora' (flower) with 'Azurea' for its blue luminescence, is a rare bioluminescent aquatic flowering plant endemic to marine cave systems. It features delicate, translucent petals in layered whorls, exhibiting undulating aquatic motion, with cool azure hues, intricate veining, and dotted patterns enhancing its glow. Slender, flexible stems support clusters emitting bioluminescence mainly at 400-480 nm blue, with an internal orange core, indicating a dual-phase luciferin-luciferase mechanism. Measuring 10-25 cm tall, up to 15g, it thrives in 5-15°C nutrient-rich, stable marine caves. Ecologically, it attracts nocturnal aquatic pollinators for cross-pollination and belongs to Luminifloraceae in the Lunar Spectra cluster, a genus of 10 species adapted to dim environments. The species is protected for its rarity and ecological importance.
