Adam Buddle

Adam Buddle

Adam Buddle (1662 - 1715) was an English cleric and botanist. Born at Deeping St James, a small village near Peterborough, he was educated at Cambridge University and eventually ordained into the Church of England, obtaining a living at North Fambridge, near Maldon, Essex, in 1703. His life between graduation and ordination remains obscure; he lived at Hadleigh, Suffolk, and established a reputation as an authority on bryophytes. He compiled a new English Flora, completed in 1708, but it was never published; the original manuscript is preserved at the Natural History Museum, London. Appointed Reader at the Gray's Inn chapel, Buddle died there in 1715 and was buried at St. Andrew's, Holborn. Buddle was commemorated by Linnaeus, who named the genus Buddleja in his honour.
