Toechima daemelianum, commonly known as cape tamarind, is an evergreen tree from north-east Queensland in Australia. [2] It grows up to 13 metres high and a trunk which may be up to 20 cm wide. [3]

The species was formally described in 1875 by Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in the ninth volume of his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae . [1] Mueller placed the species in the genus Cupania , naming it Cupania daemeliana, in honour of Edward Daemel who collected plant material from Cape York. [4] In 1879, Bavarian botanist Ludwig Radlkofer reassigned the species to the genus Toechima .

Toechima daemelianum is found in dry and riverine rainforest between Cape York and Tully. [3]
