Comments

Also unlabeled simple graphs with spanning edge-connectivity >= 2. The spanning edge-connectivity of a set-system is the minimum number of edges that must be removed (without removing incident vertices) to obtain a set-system that is disconnected or covers fewer vertices. - Gus Wiseman, Sep 02 2019
