Vitex cofassus is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is a tree native to Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands, New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, Solomon Islands, Caroline Islands, and Mariana Islands.[1] "New Guinea teak" is planted for its hardwood, used in construction, in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.[2][3]
In the Solomon Islands it is a characteristic tree of lowland forests, often co-dominant with Pometia pinnata.[4]
It yields one of two woods from the same genus that are each called Molave Wood, the other being the timber of Vitex parviflora.
