For n = 9 there are three partitions of 9 into consecutive parts, they are [9], [5, 4], [4, 3, 2], so the 9th row of triangle is [2, 3, 4], [4, 5], [9].
Note that in the below diagram the number of horizontal line segments in the n-th row equals A001227(n), the number of partitions of n into consecutive parts, so we can find the partitions of n into consecutive parts as follows: consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the n-th row of the diagram, for example: for n = 15 consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the 15th row. They are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8], [15], equaling the 15th row of the above triangle.
