Buddle informs Petiver that he is spending the night in Hampstead and hopes to meet Petiver later that evening or the following morning. Adam Buddle (bap. 1662, d. 1715) was a botanist and an ordained minister with the Church of England. While living in Henley, Suffolk, Buddle corresponded with James Petiver and Samuel Doody. Buddle had an impressive collection of mosses and grasses that he lent to Petiver and Doody, which were later passed on to Tournefort and Bobart. Buddle also acquired several specimens of English flora, which he bequeathed to Sloane. (James Britten, ‘Buddle, Adam (bap. 1662, d. 1715)’, rev.
