COMMENTS
a(n) = A035342(n,5).
a(n), n>=5, enumerates unordered n-vertex forests composed of five plane (ordered) increasingly labeled ternary (3-ary) trees. See A001147 (number of increasing ternary trees) and a D. Callan comment there. For a picture of some ternary trees see a W. Lang link under A001764.
FORMULA
a(n) = n!*A035330(n-4)/(5!*2^(n-5)), n >= 5; E.g.f. ((x*c(x/2)*(1-2*x)^(-1/2))^5)/5!, where c(x) = g.f. for Catalan numbers A000108, a(0) := 0.
EXAMPLE
a(6)=45 increasing ternary 5-forest with n=6 vertices: there are three such 5-forests (four one vertex trees together with any of the three different 2-vertex trees) each with binomial(6,2)= 15 increasing labelings. W. Lang, Sep 14 2007.
