COMMENTS
A permutation tree is a labeled rooted tree that has vertex set {0,1,2,..,n} and root 0 in which each child is larger than its parent and the children are in ascending order from the left to the right. The height of a permutation tree is the number of descendants of the root on the longest chain starting at the root and ending at a leaf. This defines C(n,height) for 1<=height<=n. Row sum is n!.
Setting T(n,k) = C(n,k+1) for 0<=k<n and additionally T(0,0) = 1 the T(n,k) can also be interpreted as coefficients of polynomials P_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} T(n,k) x^k. An analogous construction classifying permutation trees by width (number of leafs) gives the Eulerian numbers as defined in A008292 and the Eulerian polynomials as defined via DLMF 26.14.1. (See A123125 for the triangle with an (0,0)-based offset.)
