The aim of this article was to identify the primary scientific production of the last decade on botany and plant awareness disparity (PAD) in the early years of elementary school. The methodology followed a qualitative and descriptive approach based on a systematic literature review. The results showed that the subject of botany is presented in a discreet way, with few primary records, denoting isolated approaches to plant morphology. However, different teaching methodologies are used, which allows the attribution of meanings to scientific knowledge by children in the early years of primary school. However, PAD is still poorly understood and there are not enough proposals to overcome this social problem. Although there have been review studies prior to ours, the botanical theme remains scarce for the teaching in elementary school, revealing the need for more in-depth studies on physiological and environmental aspects contextualized for the corresponding age group.
