Comments

Harary denotes the g.f. as P(x, y) on page 33 "... , and let P(x,y) = Sum Sum P_{nm} x^ny^m where P_{nm} is the number of planted trees with n points and m endpoints, in which again the plant has not been counted either as a point or as an endpoint." - Michael Somos, Nov 02 2014

The trees with n=5 nodes, as (preorder-) level sequences, together with their number of leaves, and an ASCII rendering, are:
:

Formula

G.f. satisfies A(x, y) = x*y + x*EULER(A(x, y)) - x. Shifts up under EULER transform.

G.f. satisfies A(x, y) = x*y - x + x * exp(Sum_{i>0} A(x^i, y^i) / i). [Harary, p. 34, equation (10)]. - Michael Somos, Nov 02 2014
