Is there a tree that glows by itself in the world?

There is a luminous tree in northern Africa. At night, it becomes a silver flower of the fire tree, shining all over. At first, the local residents thought it was the embodiment of some demon, and they were so scared that no one dared to go near it. People even call it the devil tree. But after a long time, people have not found any harm to people, and gradually like it. Nowadays, the residents there are interested in transplanting it in the front and back yard, using it as a street lamp, and they can also borrow light to do things, and even read books and newspapers!

It is said that this evergreen tree can shine not only at night, but also during the day, and its light source is at the root of the tree. There is a lot of phosphorus in its roots. When it turns into phosphine gas, it runs out of the tree, and when it touches oxygen in the air, it can emit a kind of cold light that has no heat and cannot be burned. The brightness of this phosphorescence is proportional to the size of the tree. The bigger the tree, the more phosphorus it contains and the stronger the light it emits.

There is also a shining tree in Jinggang Mountain area of China, and the locals call it "lantern tree". It is an evergreen broad-leaved tree, and its leaves contain a lot of phosphorus. On sunny nights, the trees glow just like thousands of small lanterns hanging high, illuminating and guiding passers-by.

can all plants shine? One night in 195, in a laboratory in Krasnodar, an inland port on the Kuban River in the south of the former Soviet Union, Xie Miao Davidovic Kelian, an electrician and photographer, and his wife Valentina were using their own invented instruments to pick two similar leaves in a Moscow greenhouse and found a strange luminous phenomenon and took photos.
