I-Starship ithweswe umqhele (I-t. I-geastrum enomqhele) isikhunta somndeni wenkanyezi owaziwa kakhulu. Ngokwesayensi ibizwa ngenkanyezi yomhlaba. Kumakhowe avuthiwe, igobolondo langaphandle lomzimba othela izithelo lidatshulwa, ngenxa yalokho liba njengenkanyezi enkulu evuliwe. Phakathi kwabaqoki bamakhowe, kubhekwa njengekhowe elingenakudliwa ngokuphelele futhi alidliwa.
Ukubonakala kwe-starfish enomqhele kungavamile kakhulu, okuhlukanisa namakhowe wezinye izizukulwane nemindeni. Isikhunta sithathwa njengesihlobo esiseduze samakhowe e-puffball.
Imizimba yezithelo eyindilinga yesikhunta esincane ingaphansi komhlabathi ngokuphelele. Lapho ingxenye yesithelo yangaphandle yegobolondo iqhekeka phakathi nokukhula kwesikhunta, ama-lobe acijile esikhunta avela ebusweni bomhlaba. Zipendwe ngokumpunga ngokugqama kweglosi ye-matte. Phakathi kwalawa ma-blades kunentamo emide ye-fungus, lapho kunebhola lezithelo elinsundu eline-stomata phezulu, okuphuma ngalo izinhlamvu. Izinhlamvu ze-globular ze-starfish zinsundu ngokumnyama ngombala. Umlenze, wendabuko wawo wonke amakhowe, awukho kulolu hlobo.
Ngokubukeka, ikhowe lifana nenkanyezi yamakhowe e-Shmarda engenakudliwa (Geastrum smardae). Kepha ama-blade akhe omzimba wamakhowe anombala okhanyayo angaphephuka.
Indawo yokusabalalisa ingamahlathi engxenye yaseYurophu yeZwe Lethu kanye namahlathi asezintabeni zaseNyakatho Caucasus. Ikhula kahle emahlathini atholakala ngaphezu kolwandle.
I-Crown starfish itholakala ekwindla ezingadini nasemapaki ngaphansi kwezihlahla nezihlahla ezivuthulukayo. Indawo eyintandokazi yokuhlaliswa kwesikhunta inhlabathi enesihlabathi nobumba, embozwe utshani obuhlukahlukene obuphansi.
Ngenxa yesakhiwo sayo esingajwayelekile kanye nokubukeka kwayo okungajwayelekile, kuyathakazelisa ngokwesayensi kubaqoki bamakhowe abangochwepheshe.
