Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%C The formula on page 194 of Benson (1987) has at least two errors. This is my best guess as what was intended. This is supposed to be the growth series for the three-dimensional upper triangular matrix group.
