Buddle compiled a new English Flora, completed in 1708, but it was never published. The original manuscript is preserved as part of the Sloane collection at the Natural History Museum, London. Appointed Reader at Gray"s Inn chapel, Buddle died there in 1715 and was buried at the church of Street Andrew, Holborn.
Buddle was commemorated by Linnaeus, who named the genus Buddleja in his honour.
