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.

Perhaps 'Llanogo' is Llandogo OS SO525041

Being on the River Wye, that is quite posible; on the tidal stretch of the river.

No other similar place-name exists. However Clarke's only other sheet from anywhere near Wales so far is http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/337219/ from Caernarvonshire same month - another aquatic plant

Published accounts of Clarke's life suggest he was in Calcutta between 1859 and 1865.

Could the site be Llanigon, SO2154, between Hay on Wye and Three Cocks, a mere two mile walk from the railway station at Hay? Llanigon is on the Diged Brook, a tributary of the Wye.
