Adam Buddle (1662 – 15 April 1715) was an English clergyman and botanist. Born at Deeping St James, a village near Peterborough, Buddle was educated at Woodbridge School and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, [1] where he gained a BA in 1681, and a MA four years later. He was a Fellow from 1686 until 1691 when he was ejected as a non-juror but he later conformed. [1]
Buddle was ordained as a deacon in 1685 and priest of the Church of England in December 1702, [2] obtaining a living at North Fambridge, near Maldon, Essex, in 1703. He was also a reader at Gray's Inn under the patronage of Robert Moss. [3] His life between graduation and ordination remains obscure, although it is known he lived in or around Hadleigh, Suffolk, that he established a reputation as an authority on bryophytes, and that he married Elizabeth Eveare in 1695, with whom he had several children. [3] Buddle compiled a new English Flora, completed in 1708, but it was never published; the original manuscript and Buddle's herbarium were preserved as part of the Sloane collection at the Natural History Museum, London. [4]
Buddle died at Gray's Inn in 1715 and was buried at the church of St Andrew, Holborn. [3]
It is popularly believed that Buddle was posthumously commemorated by Linnaeus, who named the genus Buddleja in his honour, [5] but this is not certain. [3]
The standard author abbreviation Buddle is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. [6]
