Borreria vertcillata is a woody perennial shrub with false-button weedy herb belonging to the family (Rubiaceae), used for treating/curing various forms of diseases across the world since ancient times. Qualitative phytochemical screening of Borreria vertcillata pulverized whole plant was carried out using four different solvent extracts (N-hexane, chloroform, ethyl-acetate and methanol). The phytochemicals screeened contained alkaloids, triterpenes, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, saponnins, anthraquinones and steroids. The extracts were then screened for the presence of some phytochemicals such as alkaloids, anthraquinones, saponnins, steroids, terpenes, flavonoids, tannins and glycosides. All the extracts contained alkaloids, triterpenes and glycosides present but flavonoids, saponnins and tannins only present in ethyl acetate and methanol while anthraquinones and steroids were totally absent from the extracts .Of all the extracts Ethyl acetate extracts had the most influential effects on pathogenic organisms such as Culex quinquefasciatus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candidas albican

 Batik is a picture art that is poured in a piece of cloth that is one of the Indonesian nation's identity that is recognized as World heritage. Unesco has set Batik as a Masterpieces of the Oral and the Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009. In Indonesia, Batik has expanded and penetrated the market share as the development of fashion in the world. Motives that exist in the market is also various types and apparently. Among others: Batik Mega Mendung, Batik Parang Rusak, Batik Kawung, etc. Which makes each type of batik has a different aesthetic value is different its uniqueness.. Dyeing techniques also vary from dyeing techniques, connective techniques, jumputan techniques etc.. Seeing this opportunity encourages the emergence of the idea of making Batik, but replace the use of the night with Leaf Betel. Leaf Betel  itself is only used as medicine or herbal medicine by the surrounding community. With this idea, in addition to raising the economic value of Leaf Betel, the original legacy of Indonesia can also be preserved. Starting from drawing sketches on mori cloth, then burst the Batik motif with Scratches Ginger Leaf Betel on it using Nails. After this step is passed, continued the coloring, for staining time required about 1-2 hours for 1x1 meter sized fabric. The results are sold in the form of batik cloth, and marketed through social media, and sold directly in the area of Madiun and surrounding areas.
