Calochortus excavatus is a species of flowering plant in the lily family known by the common name Inyo County star-tulip. It is endemic to California, where it is known from several reduced and threatened populations in Mono and Inyo Counties. It occupies grassy habitat in alkaline scrub alongside Atriplex and other playa flora. The main threat to its existence is loss of local groundwater. This is a perennial herb growing a slender, unbranched stem to about 30 centimeters in maximum height. The inflorescence bears 1 to 6 erect bell-shaped flowers in a close cluster. Each flower has three sepals which lack spotting and three white petals. The petals may have green striping on their outer surfaces and generally have a red-purple blotch at the base. The anthers are reddish or purple.
