      Summary: A heap ordered tree with \(n\) nodes (``size \(n\)'') is a planted plane tree together with a bijection from the nodes to the set \(\{1,\dots,n\}\) which is monotonically increasing when going from the root to the leaves. We consider the number of descendants of the node \(j\) in a (random) heap ordered tree of size \(n\geq j\). Precise expressions are derived for the probability distribution and all (factorial) moments.
