Heraldry question

I've recently seen a description of a charge that represented a meadow or field, it's in base, the upper edge randomly feathered to represent grass or weeds. I can't for the life of me remember the term for it and haven't been able to dig it out from online sources (I gave my books to the shire when I left).

It doesn't matter whether it's real-world heraldry or SCA heraldry, does anyone know the name of that charge or modified ordinary?

A trimount, maybe? That's supposed to be grassy hills, though.

Hungarian, and registerable in the SCA, as well.

Or just a "mount" -- sort of the embryo of landscape heraldry. It would amount to a variant of the "base."

Ah, that was it. Thank you!
