Toechima tenax
Also called Pitted Leaf Steelwood, Steelwood
Toechima tenax, known as the brush teak, is a rainforest tree found in eastern Australia. The specific epithet tenax probably refers to the tough wood.
It grows in the drier rainforests from the Richmond River, New South Wales in the south to Bundaberg in Queensland in the north. It is rarely seen in New South Wales.
