Teak Tree species native to south and southeast Asia

Teak is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters (panicles) at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs. The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface.

The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and other small wood projects.
