chirita

Obsolete genus of flowering plants in the African violet family Gesneriaceae

Chirita was an Old World genus of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae, native to Indo-Malaysia, S. E. Asia, and southern China. In 2011, the species in the genus were reassigned to several genera, with the type species assigned to the genus Henckelia, so that Chirita became a synonym, no longer recognized.
