Anthropogenic impacts associated with high land use rates and ecosystem fragmentation processes have negatively affected the biodiversity of tropical forests, as well as the ecosystem services needed by humanity. Genipa americana (Rubiaceae) is a neotropical tree with a wide phytogeographic domain. The species has been considered a priority for biodiversity conservation and silvicultural management. This systematic literature review aimed to identify general patterns, trends and gaps in current knowledge about the species G. americana. Three databases were used (Web of Science, Google Scholar and Scopus). Out of a total of 5333 investigations published between 1993 and 2021, 149 were considered to be relevant. An exponential increase in the number of publications on the species was observed, with the highest number of articles from 2010 onwards. Brazil was the country with the highest number of publications, the largest number of investigations occurred in Atlantic Forest (N = 50), followed by Cerrado (N = 38) and Caatinga (N = 17). With this systematic review, we present an overview of publications focused on G. americana, a neotropical tree with a wide phytogeographic domain. Our study revealed the growing interest and importance of the species, mainly in Brazil, as demonstrated by the increase in publications in recent decades. We identified the need for future research seeking to explore the knowledge gaps about the potential of the species related to the characteristics of the areas of occurrence, as well as its contribution to biodiversity and uses in agroecosystems.
