Rare lily found broken in the chaff (8)
I believe the answer is:
raillery
'the chaff' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'rare lily found broken' is the wordplay.
'rare lily' anagrams to 'RAILLERY'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raillery that I've seen before include "Badinage" , "Playful satire" , "Light teasing repartee" , "Good-humoured teasing" , "(Example of) banter" .)
