Cypripedium radialis, from the Venus Slipper family, is endemic to [Aetheris-5b], an exoplanet with ionized winds and an unstable magnetic field. Its bristled floral structures increase surface contact with the air, enhancing the capture of suspended mineral particles. Acting as micro-electrostatic antennas, they attract atmospheric ions, promoting nutrient absorption and microbial symbiosis.
