Abstract

Caatinga is a semi-arid ecosystem found exclusively in Brazil, referred to as “a mosaic of scrubs and patches of seasonally dry forest”. This unique biome occupies a large geographic area of the country that spreads from the state of Ceará (CE) to the north of the state of Minas Gerais (MG). Despite being one of the largest Brazilian biomes, the scientific knowledge of this biome&s;s biodiversity is poorly understood. This chapter reviews plants from the Caatinga biome with medicinal properties.
