The initial term is 0 by convention, though a good case can be made that it should be 1 instead.
Series-reduced trees contain no node with valency 2; see A000014 for the unrooted series-reduced trees. - Joerg Arndt, Mar 03 2015
For n>=2, a(n+1) is the number of unordered rooted trees (see A000081) with n nodes where nodes cannot have out-degree 1, see example. Imposing the condition only at non-root nodes gives A198518. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 28 2014
For n>=3, a(n+1) is the number of unordered rooted trees with n nodes where all limbs are of length >= 2. Limbs are the paths from the leafs (towards the root) to the nearest branching point (with the root considered to be a branching point). - Joerg Arndt, Mar 03 2015
A rooted tree is lone-child-avoiding if no vertex has exactly one child, and topologically series-reduced if no vertex has degree 2. This sequence counts unlabeled lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n - 1 vertices. Topologically series-reduced rooted trees are counted by A001679, which is essentially the same as A059123. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 20 2020

a(n) is the number of labeled series-reduced rooted trees with n leaves (root has degree 0 or >= 2); a(n-1) = number of labeled series-reduced trees with n leaves. Also number of series-parallel networks with n labeled edges, divided by 2.
A total partition of n is essentially what is meant by the first part of the previous line: take the numbers 12...n, and partition them into at least two blocks. Partition each block with at least 2 elements into at least two blocks. Repeat until only blocks of size 1 remain. (See the reference to Stanley, Vol. 2.) - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 03 2016

Also the number of singleton-reduced phylogenetic trees with n labels. A phylogenetic tree is a series-reduced rooted tree whose leaves are (usually disjoint) nonempty sets. It is singleton-reduced if no non-leaf node covers only singleton branches. For example, the a(4) = 26 trees are:
  {1,2,3,4}  {{1},{2},{3,4}}  {{1},{2,3,4}}
             {{1},{2,3},{4}}  {{1,2},{3,4}}

Only the leaves are colored. Equivalence is up to permutation of the colors.

Lone-child-avoiding rooted trees are also called planted series-reduced trees in some other sequences.

We say that a rooted tree is lone-child-avoiding if no vertex has exactly one child.
The Matula-Goebel number of a rooted tree is the product of primes indexed by the Matula-Goebel numbers of its branches. This gives a bijective correspondence between positive integers and unlabeled rooted trees.
An alternative definition: n is in the sequence iff n is 1 or the product of two or more not necessarily distinct prime numbers whose prime indices already belong to the sequence. For example, 14 is in the sequence because 14 = prime(1) * prime(4) and 1 and 4 both already belong to the sequence.

			The sequence of all lone-child-avoiding rooted trees together with their Matula-Goebel numbers begins:
    1: o
    4: (oo)
    8: (ooo)
   14: (o(oo))
   16: (oooo)
   28: (oo(oo))

"Series-reduced" means that if the tree is rooted at 1, then there is no node with just a single child.

Also known as homeomorphically irreducible rooted trees, or rooted trees without nodes of degree 2.

A rooted tree is lone-child-avoiding if no vertex has exactly one child, and topologically series-reduced if no vertex has degree 2. This sequence counts unlabeled topologically series-reduced rooted trees with n vertices. Lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n - 1 vertices are counted by A001678. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 21 2020

For n>=1, a(n) is the number of rooted trees (see A000081) with n non-root nodes where non-root nodes cannot have out-degree 1, see the note by David Callan and the example. Imposing the condition also for the root node gives A001678. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 28 2014
Compare definition to G(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} G(x^n)*x^n/n ), where G(x) is the g.f. of A000081, the number of rooted trees with n nodes.

log(A(x)) = A(x)/(1+x)*x + A(x^2)/(1+x^2)*x^2/2 + A(x^3)/(1+x^3)*x^3/3 +...
