%N Number of labeled spanning blobs on n vertices.
%C A clutter is a set of sets comprising a connected antichain in the Boolean algebra B_n. A blob is defined as a clutter that cannot be capped by a tree.

%F Every clutter is a tree of blobs, so we have A048143(n) = Sum_p n^(k-1) Prod_i a(|p_i|+1), where the sum is over all set partitions U(p_1,...,p_k) = {1,...,n-1}.
%e The a(3)=2 blobs are: {{1,2,3}}, {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}.
%Y Cf. A048143 (clutters), A030019 (hypertrees), A052888 (tail trees).
