Yes Tectona grandis or Sagwan / Sagoun as we call it. It reminds me of Satpura hills and dat beautiful poem –
“सतपुड़ा के घने जंगल
ऊंगते अनमने जंगल ”


yes Teak tree, Tectona grandis


Many thanks … for the Id. I am so happy today. I wanted to know the name of this tree for a very long time. I have known about Teak wood (Saagwan) for practically all my life but never knew it is this tree. I count myself fortunate to be a part of such a knowledgeable group else I would keep wondering all my life.
Thanks … for the poem by Bhavani prasad Mishra ji. On the net I got to see a video by … of Satpura ke Ghane jungle captured from a train. Was interesting

Attached are pictures of Tectona grandis captured at Mumbai in August 2013.

Tectona genus so far not placed either in Verbenaceae or in Lamiaceae. It is of uncertain position. As per recent studies it is not fitting either of the families!!!


Lamiaceae now http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-202018


I accept in the Plant list Tectona is placed in Labiatae, but one should remember the plant list database is mainly of compiled work, with the effort of Dr. Rafael Govaerts.
As per Kubitzki’s Genera and families of Vascular plants, the Tectona, Callicarpa etc. are placed under “Genera Incerta Sedis”. In future these genera  may assign to Lamiaceae, Verbenaceae or to any other family!
