COMMENTS
Also known as homeomorphically irreducible rooted trees, or rooted trees without nodes of degree 2.
A rooted tree is lone-child-avoiding if no vertex has exactly one child, and topologically series-reduced if no vertex has degree 2. This sequence counts unlabeled topologically series-reduced rooted trees with n vertices. Lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n - 1 vertices are counted by A001678. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 21 2020

FORMULA
G.f. = 1 + ((1+x)*f(x) - (f(x)^2+f(x^2))/2)/x where f(x) is g.f. for A001678 (homeomorphically irreducible planted trees by nodes).
a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = A246403 = 2.18946198566085056388702757711... and c = 0.4213018528699249210965028... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 26 2014
For n > 1, this sequence counts lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n nodes and more than two branches, plus lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n - 1 nodes. So for n > 1, a(n) = A331488(n) + A001678(n). - Gus Wiseman, Jan 21 2020
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^5 + 4*x^6 + 6*x^7 + 12*x^8 + 20*x^9 + ...
From Gus Wiseman, Jan 21 2020: (Start)
The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 12 unlabeled topologically series-reduced rooted trees with n nodes (empty n = 3 column shown as dot) are:
o (o) . (ooo) (oooo) (ooooo) (oooooo) (ooooooo)
((oo)) ((ooo)) ((oooo)) ((ooooo)) ((oooooo))
(oo(oo)) (oo(ooo)) (oo(oooo))
((o(oo))) (ooo(oo)) (ooo(ooo))
((o(ooo))) (oooo(oo))
((oo(oo))) ((o(oooo)))
((oo(ooo)))
((ooo(oo)))
(o(oo)(oo))
(oo(o(oo)))
(((oo)(oo)))
((o(o(oo))))
