[Novathis-458b] is famous for its supersonic winds reaching around 25,000 km/h. The heat from the illuminated side is transported by these winds to the dark side, causing rapid and significant atmospheric variations. This anemophilous flower has robust petals to direct the wind and disperse its pollen. Air is captured at the base of the flower, swirls through the central cavity where the stamens and pistil are located, and then exits through the top.
