The study aimed to analyze the scientific productions of ethnobotany in its relationship with medicinal plants in the State of Ceará, during the period from 2008 to 2018. It is an integrative review of the literature of a descriptive, transversal nature with a quantitative approach. Given the facts, this research was based on the following guiding question: "What was the scientific production in the period from 2008 to 2018 whose theme refers to the medicinal plants used in the state of Ceará, within the context of ethnobotany?". In all integrative search, a total of 27 productions were found, where only 19 met the established criteria, thus, this quantity is defined at the end of the study. Therefore, according to the present integrative review, the prevalence of work in ethnobotany on medicinal plants in the period established in Ceará is still quite low, showing in general a field that allows the insertion of this science.
