Ebono does sound similar to the english word "ebony," and Katalox is sometimes referred to as "Mexican Ebony." It is, however, not a true ebony, and is not in the Diospyros genus as other ebonies. I did find a bunch of differing information for Limoncillo, all contradicting each other and using the common name for widely different species and genera of wood. Can't be of too much help there!

Do you know if this is a comon name for the wood? I am also looking to buy larger quanities of this wood but have been told it is hard to find in the state of Tamaulipus MX. Do you know where this wood grows in more abundance and is this in the Ebony family? I could submit photos if that would help. I also use a wood called Limoncillo, any information on this would also be appreciated.
