Jogrendbella

Jogrendbella is a fictional plant species described in field guides for a hypothetical ecosystem. Native to the high forests of the fictional continent of Eldoria, it is noted for its iridescent bell-shaped flowers and evergreen leaves.

Jogrendbella lumina, the principal species, is a shrub or subshrub reaching 0.8–1.5 meters. Leaves are opposite, evergreen, glossy with strong veins. Inflorescences are pendant bells, 1–2.5 cm long, colored from indigo to violet, blooming from late spring to autumn. The plant produces small, dry achenes.

It favors cool, moist montane forests with dappled shade, often on slightly acidic soil. Its distribution is fragmented with isolated stands in protected valleys. It tolerates light frost but is sensitive to prolonged drought and soil disturbance.

Jogrendbella is a monotypic genus in this world-building context, with Jogrendbella lumina as the type species. The name blends the fictional valley of Jogrend with bella, Latin for beautiful. The taxonomy is a construct used in storytelling and not part of real plant nomenclature.

Ecology involves hawk moths and bees that visit the nocturnal-rich nectar. In horticulture it is kept as an ornamental for glow and foliage. Culturally, it is associated with dusk and renewal in Eldorian folklore.
