Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



Malay Peninsula: Burma to Malacca, fide Fl. Br. Ind. &c. — 

 DisTEiB. India, Burma, Siam, Sumatra, Java. The teak-tree, often 

 cultivated (Malacca : Maingay, (K.D.) 1193). 



We include here the teak-tree, on the authority of the Fl. Br. Ind., but there are 

 no specimens from the Malay Peninsula, from wild trees, in either of the herbaria of 

 Kew or Calcutta. Mr. Eidley informs us that, so far as he is aware, the teak-tree is 

 nowhere indigenous in the Malay Peninsula.
