Discussion
Of conservation concern.
Brodiaea pallida is endangered. It forms a single population 10–20 feet wide for approximately one-fourth of a mile along a stream near Chinese Camp, Tuolumne County. It putatively hybridizes with B. elegans and is threatened by cattle-grazing and development. It is in cultivation.
