How to decide which is the correct scientific name for a particular species

To start with, i am not a person having sound knowledge in biology. When i started my search for phyto-chemicals in a particular family in plant kingdom, i got confused. The scientific papers use a particular name, and when i search in these 2 websites, (just to name it) i get the message that some of the names are "not resolved" or "synonyms".

The question is 1. Biologists do they accept the names mentioned in website 1. if not where to find authentic names? 2. Who controls / monitors the name of these plant species?
