Index Kewensis will give you the original details of publication, but you will need to consult further sources such as the Kew Index to Taxonomic Literature, Index to Botanical Monographs and regional Floras.
Traditionally botanists recorded much of the information from the literature and from specimens on a card index, and then incorporated this information in the final work.
