How long is "ages"?
Because to me it looks like a sunflower. They are annuals and so don't live
for "ages".

I agree, some kind of helianthus (sunflower), possibly a Jerusalem
artichoke.  there are about a dozen sorts.

I'm not sure what the question is.

If you mean links that identify the genus it's just how they look.  Use
google images and search on helianthus and you will see they all look quite
similar.

If you mean how do you find so many links to the different species you can
start with wikipedia which has much of the botanical naming hierarchy and at
least the names (if not details) of each species within genus, each genus
within family etc.  There are other web sites that have the hierarchy too.
