The plants of genus Orobanche are called "broomrapes" in english.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broomrape
Broomrape or Broom-rape (Orobanche) is a genus of over 200 species of parasitic herbaceous plants in the family Orobanchaceae, mostly native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere[1].
Orobanche arenaria Sand Broomrape
Orobanche hederea Ivy Broomrape
etc.

The scientific name reveals that "pale" is appropriate:
"Pallidiflora" (latin) = "pallidus" (pale) "flora" (flower) "pale flower".
University of Hamburg:
Garden Gate: Roots of Botanical Names
(...)
palle- / palli- pale
(pallidus / pallidiflora = pale flower) (pallescens)
www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/.../botrtsp.htm
In my opinion, an specialised book about the genus Orobanche is a reliable source.
Maybe, "Pale" differentiate it from another species which have a similar name. Sometimes botanists add adjectives for disambiguation purposes.

: Broomrapes is correct all right, but the correct name is Thistle Broomrape without Pale.//I see, so if what you say is correct, is Pale Thistle Broomrape and Thistle Broomrape the same?

Yasutomo, a plant can have different common names. I know plants with five, six or more names. Please, read the discussion entry. My answer is too long.

: Please, look my reference. Whats the reference of nomen.at (Handbook of Botany, Botanic Garden)? . I give a reference from a trustworthy source. The pictures of Google don´t seem to clarify the question. I studied Botany at the University, too.

Reference of nomen.at is a trustworthy source. Pictures of Google were added for reference to the asker so that he could confirm the verity of my answer. I've also looked up Wiki which you pasted, but not reliable, so I decided not to include in my refs.
