FORMULA

Let c(x) = (1-sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x) = g.f. for Catalans (A000108), let d(x) = 1+x*c(x^2). Then g.f. is (x/6)*(c^3+2*subs(x=x^3, c)+3*d*subs(x=x^2, c)).

MATHEMATICA

c[x_] = (1 - Sqrt[1 - 4*x])/(2*x); d[x_] = 1 + x*c[x^2]; f[x_] = (x/6)*(c[x]^3 + 2*c[x^3] + 3*d[x]*c[x^2]); CoefficientList[ Series[ f[x], {x, 0, 27}], x] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Sep 30 2011, after g.f. *)
