Calcicolous is an adjective that means "living or growing on or among rocks or in soils containing calcium carbonate." Some antonyms for calcicolous include acid-loving, acidophilous, acidophytic, acidophobic, calcifuge, and calciphobic. Acid-loving or acidophilous plants prefer acidic soils and cannot tolerate high levels of calcium carbonate. Acidophytic and acidophobic plants also prefer acidic soils but do not necessarily require them to survive.
