Radlkofera is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Sapindaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Radlkofera calodendron Gilg

Its native range is Tropical Africa. It is found in Cabinda, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon and Zaïre.[1]

The genus name of Radlkofera is in honour of Ludwig Adolph Timotheus Radlkofer (1829–1927), a Bavarian taxonomist and botanist.[2] The Latin specific epithet of calodendron is derived from the Greek, kalos which means beautiful and dendrum means tree.[3] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.24 on page 300 in 1897.[1]
