Row sums = A024427: (1, 1, 2, 4, 9, 22, 58, 164, 495, 1587, ...).
T(n,k) is the number of ways to partition {1,2,...,n+1} into exactly k blocks such that each block contains at least 2 elements and the smallest 2 elements in each block are consecutive integers. - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 02 2013

FORMULA
Given A008277, the Stirling number of the second kind triangle, left column = (1, 1, 1, ...); all other columns start at 3rd term of previous column.
O.g.f. for column k: Product_{i=1..k} x^2/(1 - i*x). - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 02 2013
T(n,k) = Stirling2(n+1-k,k). - Alois P. Heinz, Dec 04 2013
EXAMPLE
First few rows of the triangle:
1;
1;
1, 1;
1, 3;
1, 7, 1;
1, 15, 6;
1, 31, 25, 1;
1, 63, 90, 10;
1, 127, 301, 65, 1;
1, 255, 966, 350, 15;
...
T(5,3) = 1 because we have {1,2},{3,4},{5,6}.
T(6,3) = 6 because we have {1,2,7},{3,4},{5,6}; {1,2},{3,4,7},{5,6}; {1,2},{3,4},{5,6,7}; {1,2},{3,4,5},{6,7}; {1,2,3},{4,5},{6,7}; {1,2,5},{3,4},{6,7}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 02 2013
