Part field + part woods = Mariform (a la the Virgin Mary)
from http://www.mgardens.org/BibLit-Symb-QM.html :
"Sister Marie Stephen, O.P.... has now compiled a second list
of Our Lady's titles from the divine office of the Roman rite:
Royal virgin of David's rose. Fruit to the barren. Paradise
where blossoms the Tree of Life. Verdant tree of life-giving joy.
Flourishing vine. Bush burning and unconsumed. Apple tree among
the trees of the woods. Keeper in the vineyard. Garden enclosed.
Unploughed field [. . .]"
