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]
