Dactyladenia eketensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is a tree native to southern Nigeria and Gabon.[2] The species has suffered from extensive habitat loss from oil exploration and extraction, and the IUCN Red List assesses the species as Critically Endangered.[1]
The species was first described as Acioa eketensis by Émile Auguste Joseph De Wildeman in 1920.[2] It is named after Eket in southeastern Nigeria, where it was discovered.[1] In 1979 Ghillean Prance and Frank White placed it genus Dactyladenia as D. eketensis.[2]
