COMMENTS
A labeled tree of size n is a rooted tree on n nodes that are labeled by distinct integers from the set {1,...,n}. An increasing tree is a labeled tree such that the sequence of labels along any branch starting at the root is increasing.
a(n) counts increasing trees with cyclically ordered branches.
a(n+1) counts the non-plane (where the subtrees stemming from a node are not ordered between themselves) increasing trees on n nodes where the nodes of outdegree k come in k+1 colors. An example is given below. The number of plane increasing trees on n nodes where the nodes of outdegree k come in k+1 colors is given by the triple factorial numbers A008544. - Peter Bala, Aug 30 2011
a(n+1)/a(n)/n tends to 1/A073003 = 1.676875... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 11 2014

FORMULA
Bergeron et al. give several formulas. Shifts left under "CIJ" (necklace, indistinct, labeled) transform.
E.g.f.: A(x) =
x + (1/2)*x^2 + (1/3)*x^3 + (7/24)*x^4 + (3/10)*x^5 + (49/144)*x^6 + (173/420)*x^7 + (21059/40320)*x^8 + (8887/12960)*x^9 + ...
and satisfies the differential equation A'(x)=log(1/(1-A(x)))+1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 22 2011
E.g.f. A(x) satisfies: A''(x) = A'(x) * exp(A'(x)-1). - Paul D. Hanna, Apr 17 2015
From Robert Israel, Apr 17 2015 (Start):
E.g.f. A(x) satisfies e*(Ei(1,A'(x)) - Ei(1,1)) = integral(s = 1 .. A'(x), exp(1-s)/s ds) = -x.
a(n) = e^(1-n)*limit(w -> 1, (d^(n-2)/dw^(n-2))(((w-1)/(Ei(1,1)-Ei(1,w)))^(n-1))) for n >= 2. (End)
a(n) = sum(i=1..n-2,binomial(n-2,i)*a(i)*a(n-i))+a(n-1), a(0)=0, a(1)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 24 2011
The following remarks refer to the interpretation of this sequence as counting increasing trees where the nodes of outdegree k come in k+1 colors. Thus we work with the generating function B(x) = A'(x)-1 = x + 2*x^2/2!+7*x^3/3!+36*x^4/4!+.... The degree function phi(x) (see [Bergeron et al.] for definition) for this variety of trees is phi(x) = 1+2*x+3*x^2/2!+4*x^3/3!+5*x^4/4!+... = (1+x)*exp(x). The generating function B(x) satisfies the autonomous differential equation B' = phi(B(x)) with initial condition B(0) = 0. It follows that the inverse function B(x)^(-1) may be expressed as an integral B(x)^(-1) = int {t = 0..x} 1/phi(t) dt = int {t = 0..x} exp(-t)/(1+t) dt. Applying [Dominici, Theorem 4.1] to invert the integral produces the result B(x) = sum {n>=1} D^(n-1)[(1+x)*exp(x)](0)*x^n/n!, where the nested derivative D^n[f](x) of a function f(x) is defined recursively as D^0[f](x) = 1 and D^(n+1)[f](x) = d/dx(f(x)*D^n[f](x)) for n >= 0. Thus a(n+1) = D^(n-1)[(1+x)*exp(x)](0). - Peter Bala, Aug 30 2011
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 7: D^2[(1+x)*exp(x)] = exp(2*x)*(2*x^2+8*x+7). Evaluated at x = 0 this gives a(4) = 7. Denote the colors of the nodes by the letters a,b,c,.... The 7 possible trees on 3 nodes with nodes of outdegree k coming in k+1 colors are:
........................................................
...1a....1b....1a....1b........1a.......1b........1c....
...|.....|.....|.....|......../.\....../..\....../..\...
...2a....2b....2b....2a......2...3....2....3....2....3..
...|.....|.....|.....|..................................
...3.....3.....3.....3..................................
G.f. = x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 36*x^5 + 245*x^6 + 2076*x^7 + 21059*x^8 + ...
