Both Cayley and Polya were able to enumerate unrooted trees and C-trees, but the methods they used were somewhat involved. A significant improvement in the enumeration of these trees, also known as "free" trees, was made by Otter [OttR48]. Otter s method depends on the concept of a dissimilarity characteristic, and deserves a brief description. 

Polya s Theorem clearly showed the way to the general enumeration of all acyclic hydrocarbons, irrespective of how many double or triple bonds they might have but it was to be 35 years before this enumeration was carried out. In two papers [ReaR72,76] I obtained the solution to this general problem in both the structural isomer and stereoisomer cases, as generating functions in three variables. Of these variables, x marks the number of carbon atoms, y the number of double bonds, and z the number of triple bonds. The de- rivation of these generating functions was Polya theory all the way — a succession of applications of Polya s Theorem with occasional use of Otter s result. The derivation was really rather tedious, but the generating functions, once obtained, can be used to compute the... 

Further progress in asymptotic tree enumeration was made by Otter, who in [OttR48] considered the problem of rooted and unrooted trees with maximum degree m. Having enumerated unrooted trees by the method already described, he proceeded to derive asymptotic estimates, and after ten pages of analysis arrived at a number of results, of which the following is typical ...
