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]
