Haageocereus fascicularis commonly known as 'Quisco de la precordillera de Arica' is a species of cactus from the family Cactaceae. It is endemic to southern Peru and northern Chile.
Haageocereus fascicularis grows as a shrub with ascending to upright, gray-green shoots that branch from the base and reach a length of 0.5 to 1 meter with diameters of 4 to 7 cm (1.6 to 2.8 in). There are eleven to 18 blunt ribs. The one or two straight central spines are 4 to 15 cm (1.6 to 5.9 in) long. The seven to ten spreading radial spines are 1 to 4 cm (0.39 to 1.57 in) long.
The white, strongly scented flowers reach a length of 7 to 8.5 cm (2.8 to 3.3 in). Its pericarpel and flower tube are covered with hairs and reddish scales. The egg-shaped fruits are bright red. [1]
Haageocereus fascicularis is distributed in Chile from Arica to Tarapacá.
The first description as Cereus fascicularis was made in 1833 by Franz Julius Ferdinand Meyen. [2] The specific epithet fascicularis means 'bundle-like, tuft-like'.

(1840), Cactus fascicularis (Meyen) Meyen (1843), Cereus fascicularis (Meyen) K.Schum.
