Bromheadia finlaysoniana, known in Australia as the synonym Bromheadia pulchra with the vernacular name pale reed orchid, is a tall, reed-like terrestrial orchid species in the genus Bromheadia. Under the interpretation of the 1997 revision of the genus where a few taxa were sunk into synonymy - notably B. pulchra - this species has a wide distribution that includes Burma; Thailand; Cambodia; Laos; Vietnam; the Malay Peninsula; Singapore; Sumatra; Borneo; Brunei; the Moluccas; New Guinea, including Papua New Guinea; the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia; the Anambas Islands; and possibly the Philippines, though it's uncertain whether the specimens referred to the Philippines were actually collected there.
