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 [. . .]"
