FORMULA
a(n) = A034899(n) -2^(n+1) = Sum_{k>=3} A209406(n,k).
EXAMPLE
a(6)=221 counts 132 oriented star-like trees with 3 rays and 6 arcs, 62 with 4 rays and 6 arcs, 20 with 5 rays and 6 arcs, and 7 star trees. In the illustrations in A000238 [Mathar] this is the same as 48 (shape 2) + 64 (shape 3) + 20 (shape 4) +32 (shape 7) + 30 (shape 8) +20 (shape 10) + 7 (shape 11).
