I don't know if it is 山 by itself, or if it 山 used as a radical for a kanji like 嶋. I would guess it is being used by itself, however it is slightly smaller and compressed in the seal. If it is deliberately small, and is meant to depict 山 as a radical, it makes the right side harder to guess (when actually it should really narrow down the candidate list). The right side to me looks something like 菖 in tensho-tai (seal script). The top part is the radical for grass, as you suspect.The bottom seal right side is a mystery. The left side looks similar to 堀 without the dirt radical. So together it looks like山菖堀？</blockquote>
