%N Number of phylogenetic trees with n labels.

%C Each node of the tree is a subset of the labeled set {1,...,n}. If the subset node is empty, it must have degree at least 3.

%F STIRLING transform of A005263.

%F E.g.f.: 1+B(x)-B(x)^2 where B(x) is e.g.f. of A005172.

%F For n >= 2, a(n) = 2^n*A006351(n) = 2^(n+1)*A000311(n).
