%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Sep 14 2007: (Start)

%C a(n), n>=1, enumerates quintic trees (rooted, ordered, incomplete) with n vertices (including the root).

%C Pfaff-Fuss-Catalan sequence C^{m}_n for m=5. See the Graham et al. reference, p. 347. eq. 7.66. See also the Pólya-Szegő reference.

%C Also 5-Raney sequence. See the Graham et al. reference, p. 346-7.

%e There are a(2)=5 quintic trees (vertex degree <=5 and 5 possible branchings) with 2 vertices (one of them the root). Adding one more branch (one more vertex) to these five trees yields 5*5+binomial(5,2)=35=a(3) such trees.
