Go to www.ipni.org which is the international plant names index and should be able to tell you which name is the valid name for the plant and not a synonym
Also, there "tropicos" - the website below, which should provide links to images of specimens and maybe photos of the plants in the wild.

Alternatively there's www.e-floras.org - but I don;t knwo if that one does images x

Well, if you get started now, you may be able to pass on this project to your student(s) when you retire, with a reasonably good chance that they will be able to finish it. I applaud your ambition!
