AlgaeBase (http://www.algaebase.org/search/species/) will provide publication details, with in most cases links to to the original description, as well as details of synonyms and of type specimens, a select bibliography on the species, notes on habitat and, often, an image of the live organism, and sometimes a published illustration.
