Dear Yaya,
        You can use the Plants for a Future database to get such information.
Go to the advanced search page at
        http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/pfaf/D_advance.html
or
        http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/D_advance.html
and select the soils types your looking for. Rather a lot of plants
match the criteria so you might want to use the new list by genus
feature
which will give a summary of the plant genera which contain matching
plants
the URLs for acid and Alkaline plants are

in the UK and

in the US.

        Hope that helps
