Calophyllum costatum
Also called Red touriga
Evelyn teak (Calophyllum costatum), also called red touriga, is a rainforest tree from the Atherton Tableland in north Queensland, Australia, growing up to about 30 m tall. Its care is largely a matter of matching wet tropical rainforest conditions, which is hard to replicate outside tropical climates.
Calophyllum costatum, commonly known as red touriga, is a species of plant in the family Calophyllaceae, first described in 1899. It is endemic to the Atherton Tableland area of Queensland, Australia.
This species occurs in the Atherton Tableland area, from about Mareeba to about Ravenshoe, and grows in rainforest, commonly on ridges at altitudes from 700 to 1,200 m (2,300 to 3,900 ft).
