Shield Vert an escutcheon Argent bearing a cross fleury Vert, in chief a forget-me-not plant eradicated Argent, on base wavy Argent a barrulet wavy Azure.
Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "VÁRZEA DE MERUGE".
Meaning:
The cross is that one of Order of Avis.
The word "várzea" means "floodplain", especially of the non-tidal, non-brackish sort (which is rather termed a lezíria),
so the wavy base could be said to be partly canting;
"meruge" means "forget-me-not" (Latin: Myosotis), one of several synonyms: the arms are canting for this meaning, too.
The forget-me-not plant is unexpectedly depicted (as blazoned) without any flowers.
