Andrographis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae. They may be generally known as the false waterwillows,[2] and several are called periyanagai.[3]
The species are native to the Indian subcontinent (including Myanmar, Sri Lanka and the West Himalaya region).[1][4] Many are endemic to India.[5] They may be herbs or shrubs.[3] They are introduced and/or cultivated in Southeast Asia and some areas around the Caribbean.[1]
Some species are used medicinally. The best known is Andrographis paniculata, which is valued in Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha medicine. It is used to treat a very long list of illnesses and conditions.[4] A. alata and A. lineata are used in human and veterinary medicine.[3] Food use has also been recorded.[6]
It is currently (as of April 2021) accepted that there are 26 species in the genus.[1] These are:

Kiratat (Andrographis) on noin 20–30-lajinen[1] [2] ruohokasvisuku akanttikasvien heimossa (Acanthaceae).
Kiratat ova ruohoja tai pieniä pensaita, joissa on kystoliittejä. Lehdet ovat ehytlaitaisia. Kukat sijaitsevat varsipäätteisissä tai lehtihankaisissa röyhyissä, tertuissa tai toisinaan tähkissä tai tiheissä ryhmissä; kukinnossa on suojuslehtiä. Yhdislehtinen verhiö on viisiliuskainen, ja liuskat ovat kapeita ja ainakin melkein samankokoisia. Teriö on tyvestään putkimainen tai suppilomainen, reunaltaan kaksihuulinen; alahuuli on kolmiliuskainen, ylähuuli kokonainen tai kaksiliuskainen. Heteitä on kaksi ja ne saattavat pistää ulos teriötorvesta; palhot ovat toisinaan karvaisia, ja ponnen puoliskot (teekat) ovat ainakin lähes samankokoiset ja tyveltään karvaiset. Hedelmä on pitkänomainen tai soikea kota ja sisältää 6-20 pallomaista tai hieman litistynyttä siementä.[3]
Kiratat ovat kotoisin trooppisesta ja subtrooppisesta Aasiasta.[4]
Suvun tunnetuin laji on rohtokirata (Andrographis paniculata), jolla nimensä mukaisesti on ollut lääkinnällistä käyttöä.
