Extensive natural teak forests are found in Madhya Pradesh. The scientific name of teak is Tectona grandis, and it is an important tree species of the tropical deciduous forests of Central India. Official information from the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department records the dominance of teak in several forest areas of the state. For example, about 55% of the Ratapani area is reported to be covered by teak.
