You didn't mention what kind of plant it is: e.g.,
vegetable, wild flower, etc.

But maybe this webpage will be of some use to you:

http://cuke.hort.ncsu.edu/cucurbit/wehner/vegcult/vgclintro.html

Even though it says 'cuke' and 'cucurbit', it's a list of
many different vegetable varieties with links to pages
giving their history (date of introduction, who introduced
it, etc.).
