  1. Examples of calcicole plants

  2. References

A calcicole, calciphyte or calciphile is a plant that thrives in lime rich soil.[1][2] The word is derived from the Latin 'to dwell on chalk'. Under acidic conditions, aluminium becomes more soluble and phosphate less. As a consequence, calcicoles grown on acidic soils often develop the symptoms of aluminium toxicity, i.e. necrosis, and phosphate deficiency, i.e. anthocyanosis (reddening of the leaves) and stunting.

A plant that thrives in acid soils is known as a calcifuge.

A plant thriving on sand (which may be acidic or calcic) is termed psammophilic or arenaceous (see also arenite).

Examples of calcicole plants

  • Ash trees (Fraxinus spp.)
  • Honeysuckle (Lonicera)
  • Buddleja
  • Lilac (Syringa)
  • Beet
  • Clematis
  • Sanguisorba minor
  • Some European orchids
  • Some succulent plants genera Sansevieria and Titanopsis or cacti genus Thelocactus.
  • Calcicolous grasses
