There are at least 18 species from 9 different genera that have volador as all or part of one or more of their common names and I have no idea which of them are represented on this page.
my samples:
long veneer piece and closeup of same. Considerable color correction was required to get the pics to look like the wood, but they now do. This veneer was sold to me as "golden volador with olive vines" and I have no idea how much of that is commonly used terminology and how much is just a marketing phrase. At any rate, there was no gold in the color, just green, but interestingly enough the pictures came out of the camera making the wood look golden and not at all green. Weird.

like my own sample, this was labled "golden" volador but this one didn't say anything about "olive vines" although it clearly has the same grain pattern as my own sample.
plank --- obviously not at all like my veneer sample so likely one of the numerous other species that use this common name.
