Brodiaea pallida is a rare species of flowering plant in the cluster-lily genus known by the common name Chinese Camp brodiaea. It is endemic to Tuolumne County, California, where it is known from a single population about a quarter of a mile long and 10 to 20 feet wide near Chinese Camp. It is a perennial producing an flower cluster up to about 20 centimeters tall bearing pale purple flowers on short pedicels. Each flower has six strongly curving petals about a centimeter long. In the center of the flower are three erect white, notch-tipped sterile stamens called staminodes, each about as long as the petals. Within these are the fertile stamens.
