Fabiana is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, native to dry slopes in South America. They are evergreen shrubs, with needle-like leaves and profuse tiny tubular flowers in summer. The common name is false heath because the leaves superficially resemble those of the distantly related heaths. The species F. imbricata is cultivated as a garden subject.
