I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">chewed leaf</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for betel that I've seen before include "leaves to chew" , "Asian tree, whose nuts and leaves are chewed as a narcotic" , "Palm with leaf and nuts chewed" , "Asian feather palm" , "Palm with nuts for chewing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
