FORMULA
E.g.f.: B(x)/C(x) where B, C respectively are the e.g.f.'s for A038096 and A006125.
EXAMPLE
For n=4, take 4 nodes labeled a,b,c,d. We can choose the root in 4 ways, say a, and it must be joined to b,c,d. Each of the three edges bc, bd, cd may or may not exist, so there are 4*8 = 32 = a(4) possibilities.
