Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi David: Thank you for your help. However, it appears that I had placed my question into an inappropriate category. I mistakenly thought "lichen ruber" was in German, since it "sounded German" to me. But it appears to be in Latin so I just left it as such in my translation. So if you do not mind I will close the question without grading it. Kostas
