A pseudoforest is an undirected graph in which every connected component contains at most one graph cycle. A pseudotree is therefore a connected pseudoforest and a forest (i.e., not-necessarily-connected acyclic graph) is a trivial pseudoforest.
Some care is needed when encountering pseudoforests as some authors use the term to mean "a pseudoforest that is not a forest."
The numbers of pseudoforests on 1, 2, 3, ... vertices are 1, 2, 4, 9, 19, 46, 108, 273 ... (OEIS A134964), the first few of which are illustrated above.
