I know that it relates, but I don't know how.

No. And most plants described under both categories aren't either
lime hating or acid loving, as such.

Interesting that John Innes Ericaceous Compost contains flowers of
sulphur instead of the normal limestone, and this apparently produces
sulphuric acid over time. I suppose it's all good science.
If there wasn't a northerly gale blowing I might be out there doing
something more constructive :-)
