It is sometimes referred to as tigerwood—a name that underscores the wood's often dramatic, contrasting color scheme, that some compare to rosewood.

Two species are usually listed as sources for gonçalo alves: ''Astronium fraxinifolium'' and ''Astronium graveolens'', although other species in the genus may yield similar wood; the amount of striping that is present may vary.
