Fascicularia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the pineapple family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus name is from the Latin fasciculus (bundle) and arius (pertaining to).[2]

Only one species is known, Fascicularia bicolor. It is endemic to Chile [1] and reportedly naturalized in France and the extreme south and west of Great Britain.[3] In the wild, all Fascicularias are saxicolous (growing on rocks) or epiphytes.[4][5]

It is cultivated in gardens for the dramatic bright crimson colour of its leaves contrasting with the blue inflorescence.[6]

The edible fruits are similar to those of the species Greigia sphacelata, but smaller; They are consumed in the same way as these.[7]

Subspecies

Two subspecies are recognized:

  • Fascicularia bicolor subsp. bicolor
  • Fascicularia bicolor subsp. canaliculata E.C.Nelson & Zizka
