%N Number of genera of imaginary quadratic field with discriminant -k, k = A039957(n).

%C In other words, this is the number of genera of those imaginary quadratic fields that have a discriminant which is odd and fundamental. The discriminant will be squarefree and of the form -4n+1. - _Andrew Howroyd_, Jul 25 2018
