Nomenclature changes? Looking for old public domain images.
Not an ID request, but I believe I have found some silverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium). When I search for public images of it, I get quite a few results for similar-looking nightshades, but the name of the species sometimes changes over the years. For example, Solanum astroites seems to have become Solanum bonariense (but I'm not sure).
The question: How can I find out if there are any historical nomenclatures used for Solanum elaeagnifolium? Is there a database of taxonomic changes?
