"Or, semy of thistles proper, a lion rampant guardant
within a bordure vert."
It is clear of conflicts.

>of something versus plain?  Do fields treated as semy get a CD versus
>a field semy of something else?

Actually none of the above.
In this case,a semy of thistles is roughly to
a secondary charge group of eight thistles.
It gets CDs for number, type, and tincture just like
any other charge group.
The semy is a group of charges on the field and are
not part of the field.

A different example where the semy is the primary charge
group not a secondary.  Here a semy of sparks.
"Vert estencely Or."

This person also has two devices registered.
Most Curious.

There are some items that mimic a semy but aren't.
Furs like ermine, vairy, potenty have ermine spots or
other items that look like charges.  These are a type of
tincture like color or metal and NOT semys.

Field treatments like fretty are rare enough not to
really worry about.
