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.
