| I have given above Dr. Hamilton's account of this new species of Teak, preserved, together with a drawing of it 
in the Banksian Collection at the British Museum. My late friend observes, that in a great number of trees viel 
he examined, he found no other fruit than that described by him; and that Dr. Roxburgh thought he had not seen 
the ripe fruits, but only abortive ones: and he adds, that the native carpenters use the leaves as the common 
dép is employed in Europe, for polishing wood. The accompanying plate has been copied from Dr. Hamilton's 
rawing. 
That the tree is in reality a species of Teak there cannot be any doubt. At the foot of the mountain called Taong 
Dong I found it growing together with the common sort (Tectona grandis), but in greater abundance, and of much 
larger size. In stature, habit, and in the size of the leaves, the species much resemble each other.

I feel proud in having it in my power, through the friendship of Professor Nees Von Esenbeck, to conclude my 
work with the following Synopsis of the Indian Acanthacee, for which, as well as for his other valuable contributions, 
I offer that excellent botanist my warmest thanks.
