Teak or Tectona grandis is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs and are perfect flowers. The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood is valued for its durability and water resistance. The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and other small wood projects.
