Also binary rooted identity trees (those with no symmetries, cf. A004111).

From Gus Wiseman, May 04 2021: (Start)

Also the number of unlabeled binary rooted semi-identity trees with 2*n - 1 nodes. In a semi-identity tree, only the non-leaf branches directly under any given vertex are required to be distinct. Alternatively, an unlabeled rooted tree is a semi-identity tree iff the non-leaf branches of the root are all distinct and are themselves semi-identity trees. For example, the a(3) = 1 through a(6) = 6 trees are:

(o(oo)) (o(o(oo))) ((oo)(o(oo))) ((oo)(o(o(oo)))) ((o(oo))(o(o(oo))))

(o(o(o(oo)))) (o((oo)(o(oo)))) ((oo)((oo)(o(oo))))

(o(o(o(o(oo))))) ((oo)(o(o(o(oo)))))

(o((oo)(o(o(oo)))))

(o(o((oo)(o(oo)))))

(o(o(o(o(o(oo))))))

The a(8) = 11 trees with 15 nodes:

((o(oo))((oo)(o(oo))))

((o(oo))(o(o(o(oo)))))

((oo)((oo)(o(o(oo)))))

((oo)(o((oo)(o(oo)))))

((oo)(o(o(o(o(oo))))))

(o((o(oo))(o(o(oo)))))

(o((oo)((oo)(o(oo)))))

(o((oo)(o(o(o(oo))))))

(o(o((oo)(o(o(oo))))))

(o(o(o((oo)(o(oo))))))

(o(o(o(o(o(o(oo)))))))
