EXAMPLE
From M. F. Hasler, Feb 15 2024: (Start)
a(2) = 1 because up to equivalence, there is only one partition of a triangle in two smaller ones, using a segment from one vertex to a point on the opposite side. (Here and below, "on" excludes the endpoints.)
a(3) = 4 is the number of partitions of a triangle ABC into three smaller ones: One uses three segments AD, BD and CD, where D is a point inside ABC. Three other topologically inequivalent partitions of order 3 each use two segments, as follows: {AE, AF}, {AE, EG} and {AE, BH}, where E and F are two distinct points on BC, G is a point on AB, and H is a point on AE.
