Answer 3

Yeah, but I don't understand what "one does not distinguish between trees of the same kind" means. :|

Answer 4

why so? @Ishaan94 ? doesn't "one does not distinguish between trees of the same kind" mean that they're all counted as the same?

Answer 5

It means, Maple_1 Maple_2 or Maple_2 Maple_1 is same arrangement.
