The present work aimed to unite plants of the Caesalpinia genus with medicinal properties, through a literature review. The research was carried out on the electronic databases Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scielo using the following descriptors: “Plantas Medicinais”, “medicinal plants”, “gênero Caesalpinia”, “Caesalpinia genus”, “fitoterápicos”, “herbal medicines”, “Caatinga”. In total, 142 articles were found, of which 44 were included, with the characteristics of being plants with medicinal properties of the Caesalpinia genus in the Caatinga biome. After surveying the works found, it was possible to identify the following species, Caesalpinia pyramidalis Tul, Caesalpinia Ferrea Mart. Caesalpinia bracteosaTul, found in the Caatinga biome.
