For Gaussian linear perturbations, a connected tree on five external density insertions has four Wick-contraction edges and therefore containsThus $n=4$. The three unlabeled tree-level connected matter five-point function topologies correspond to the perturbative-order partitionsThey are respectively an $F_4$ star with four $F_1$ leaves, an $F_3$ vertex joined to an $F_2$ vertex with three $F_1$ leaves, and a chain with three $F_2$ vertices and two endpoint $F_1$ vertices.

For one labeling of the last topology, let ${\mathbf{k}}_{12}={\mathbf{k}}_1+{\mathbf{k}}_2$ and ${\mathbf{k}}_{123}={\mathbf{k}}_1+{\mathbf{k}}_2+{\mathbf{k}}_3$. Its algebraic contribution isThe factor $2^3=8$ counts the interchange of the two linear legs at each symmetric $F_2$ vertex. The full correlator adds all distinct permutations of external labels and the overall momentum-conserving delta function.
