Also, number of unlabeled 2-gonal 2-trees with n-1 2-gons, for n>0. [Corrected by Andrei Zabolotskii, Jul 29 2025]
Main diagonal of A054924.
Left border of A157905. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 08 2009
From Robert Munafo, Jan 24 2010: (Start)
Also counts classifications of n items that require exactly n-1 binary partitions; see Munafo link at A005646, also A171871 and A171872.
The 11 trees for n = 7 are illustrated at the Munafo web link.
Link to A171871/A171872 conjectured by Robert Munafo, then proved by Andrew Weimholt and Franklin T. Adams-Watters on Dec 29 2009. (End)
This is also "Number of tree perfect graphs on n nodes" [see Hougardy]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 04 2015
For n > 0, a(n) is the number of ways to arrange n-1 unlabeled non-intersecting circles on a sphere. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Aug 25 2016
All trees for n=1 through n=12 are depicted in Chapter 1 of the Steinbach reference. On p. 6 appear encircled two trees (with n=10) which seem inequivalent only when considered as ordered (planar) trees. Earlier instances of such possibly (in)equivalent trees could appear from n=6 on (and from n=9 on without equivalence modulo plane symmetry) but are not drawn separately there. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 29 2017

Examples

			a(1) = 1 [o]; a(2) = 1 [o-o]; a(3) = 1 [o-o-o];
a(4) = 2 [o-o-o and o-o-o-o]
            |
            o
G.f. = 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + 2*x^4 + 3*x^5 + 6*x^6 + 11*x^7 + 23*x^8 + ...
