Obsolete genus of flowering plants in the African violet family Gesneriaceae
For the river in Romania, see Chirița.
Primulina dryas, formerly Chirita dryas
Chirita was a formerly recognised genus of plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to the Indo-Malayan realm of South and Southeast Asia and southern China. In 2011, the species in the genus were reassigned to several genera, so that Chirita became a synonym, no longer recognized. The type species C. urticifolia was assigned to the genus Henckelia as H. urticifolia(Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don.) A. Dietr.[1]
About (80-)150 species were recognized, about 100 of which are endemic to China. Most of the species have showy tubular flowers with five, usually rounded, petal lobes and are becoming increasingly popular as houseplants in temperate regions, much like their cousins the African violets.
Chirita comes from a Nepalese common name for a gentian.[citation needed]
