Sneeze-wood is the popular name of the South African tree Pteroxylon utile, it is of the family Sapindaceae. Sapindaceae is a family of mainly tropical trees and shrubs which includes the soapberry. Soapberry (Sapindus saponaria) is a tropical American tree.

So to answer your question, no we don’t actually have sneeze wood, but we do have soapberry wood which is the same tree family.
