N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

No information. there may be a place name by 1819 but think more likely the author?

Schleicher - J. C. Schleicher, the Swiss botanist, is more likely than August Schleicher, the philologist, whose linguistic theories assisted C Darwin in formulating his idea of the branching ("family") tree as applied to the transmutation of species.
