Camissoniopsis pallida is a low growing, yellow-flowered annual plant in the evening primrose family, Onagraceae.
It is native to the desert and scrub habitat of the region where Arizona, California, and Nevada meet.
It is a roughly hairy annual herb growing in a low patch on the ground, sometimes producing an erect stem from the basal rosette.
The nodding inflorescence produces flowers with yellow petals 2 to 13 millimeters long, each with small red markings near the bases.
The fruit is a straight to tightly coiled capsule.
