thumb|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
