A Teak Forest in British India. 



The Teak tree yields one of the most durable and valuable kinds of timber, especially 

 adapted to shipbuilding, but it will not grow where there is the slightest frost. Its 

 durability is shown by the condition of the old stump, from which the large tree on 

 the left grew as a sprout.
