'''Teak''' is the common name for the [[tropics|tropical]] [[hardwood]] tree ''Tectona grandis'' and its wood products.<ref name=GRIN>{{cite web | url = http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genus.pl?11908 | title = GRIN Taxonomy for Plants - ''Tectona'' | publisher = [[United States Department of Agriculture]]}}</ref> ''Tectona grandis'' is native to south and southeast [[Asia]] and grows in many countries. It has been introduced to Africa and the Caribbean. [[Burma]] produces nearly one third of the world's total teak.

The word teak comes from the [[Malayalam]] word ''theka'' or ''tekka''.<ref name="Chambers">Chambers, W. 1875. Chambers's Etymological Dictionary of the English Language. London. p. 513.</ref> This tree is mentioned in the seventh-century literature of the [[Tamil language]] known as the [[Tevaram]].

''Tectona grandis'' is a large [[deciduous]] tree that is dominant in mixed hardwood forests. It has small, fragrant white flowers and papery leaves that are often hairy on the lower surface.<ref>https://guide2agriculture.com/sagwan-tree</ref>
