Land being green and partly pleasant (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'land being green' is the definition.
'lea' can be an answer for 'land' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'being green' bit.

'partly pleasant' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word.
'LEA' can be found hidden inside 'pleasant'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lea that I've seen before include "Open arable land (poet.)" , "area of grassland" , "''The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the ... '' (Gray)" , "River of east London" , "Grass area" .)
