Nightlight Tree (Laburnum Noctiluca)

A tree native to the World of Paranas, the Laburnum Noctiluca - or Nightlight Tree - is a large deciduous tree with arching branches and drooping clusters of blossoms. The blossoms appear peach coloured in daylight, but at night begin to phosphoresce with a deep red glow, attracting the scarlet glow-worms of Paranas which pollinate the tree.

A fine example of the species can be found in the formal garden of Victor Finch's summer mansion on Pacifica. A Birthday gift from movie star Olivia Oblivia. She neglected to provide any of the accompanying scarlet glow-worms, stating - "They say the pheromones given off when the glow-worms try to mate with the blossoms are a powerful aphrodisiac, but I've smelled it first-hand, and it smells like armpit."
