Flowers to discern inscribed in chair back (7)
I believe the answer is:
tagetes
'flowers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'discern inscribed in chair back' is the wordplay.
'discern' becomes 'teg' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'inscribed in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'chair' becomes 'seat' (something to sit on).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'teg' placed into 'seat' is 'setegat'.
'setegat' in reverse letter order is 'TAGETES'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tagetes that I've seen is " flowers".)
