"Carica" is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caricaceae. Formerly treated as including about 20-25 species of short-lived evergreen pachycaul shrubs or small trees growing to 5-10 m tall, native to tropical Central and South America, recent genetic evidence has resulted in the genus being restricted to the single species "Carica papaya" (Papaya; syn. "C. peltata", "C. posoposa").

Most of the other species have been transferred to the genus "Vasconcellea", with a few to the genera "Jacaratia" and "Jarilla", as follows:
*"Carica baccata" = "Vasconcellea microcarpa" subsp. "baccata"
*"Carica candamarcensis" = "Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis" (Mountain papaya)
*"Carica candicans" = "Vasconcellea candicans" (Mito)
*"Carica caudata" = "Jarilla heterophylla"
*"Carica cauliflora" = "Vasconcellea cauliflora"
*"Carica cestriflora" = "Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis"
*"Carica chilensis" = "Vasconcellea chilensis"
*"Carica crassipetala" = "Vasconcellea crassipetala"
*"Carica cundinamarcensis" = "Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis"
*"Carica dodecaphylla" = "Jacaratia spinosa"
*"Carica glandulosa" = "Vasconcellea glandulosa"
*"Carica goudotiana" = "Vasconcellea goudotiana"
*"Carica heterophylla" = "Vasconcellea microcarpa" subsp. "heterophylla"
*"Carica horovitziana" = "Vasconcellea horovitziana"
*"Carica longiflora" = "Vasconcellea longiflora"
*"Carica mexicana" = "Jacaratia mexicana"
*"Carica microcarpa" = "Vasconcellea microcarpa"
*"Carica monoica" = "Vasconcellea monoica"
*"Carica nana" = "Jarilla nana"
*"Carica omnilingua" = "Vasconcellea omnilingua"
*"Carica palandensis" = "Vasconcellea palandensis"
*"Carica papaya" (Papaya)
*"Carica parviflora" = "Vasconcellea parviflora"
*"Carica pentagona" = "Vasconcellea ×heilbornii" (Babaco)
*"Carica pubescens" = "Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis" (Chilean Carica)
*"Carica pulchra" = "Vasconcellea pulchra"
*"Carica quercifolia" = "Vasconcellea quercifolia"
*"Carica sphaerocarpa" = "Vasconcellea sphaerocarpa"
*"Carica spinosa" = "Jacaratia spinosa"
*"Carica sprucei" = "Vasconcellea sprucei"
*"Carica stipulata" = "Vasconcellea stipulata"
*"Carica weberbaueri" = "Vasconcellea weberbaueri"
