The Spanish chic rejects flower (4)
I believe the answer is:
nile
'flower' is the definition.
(Nile River is an example)
'the spanish chic rejects' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'chic' becomes 'in'.
'rejects' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'rejected' mean this).
'el'+'in'='elin'
'elin' in reverse letter order is 'NILE'.
(Other definitions for nile that I've seen before include "Cairo's river" , "Long river" , "White or Blue river of Africa" , "River at Luxor" , "long-distance runner in Africa" .)
