Well, I don't know of a list comprised of only acid-loving plants on
the web. All ericaceous plants (Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Blueberries,
Heaths, etc.) require acid soil as do all carnivorous plants (pitcher
plants - Venus fly traps, etc.). The first lot require excellent
drainage; the second are bog plants - so the range of acid loving
plants is wide.
Many other plants grow best in somewhat acid soil and a whole lot of
plants either tolerate somewhat acid soils or don't seem to care what
the pH is as long as it's not too extreme one way or another.
So, why do you want this list? I'm curious...:-)
BTW, there is a mailing list for acid loving plant lovers...
