Mar 30, 2020 at 23:53 comment added Sam Hopkins @Julian: ah, yes, I see- if we think of the little Schroeder numbers as counting (not necessarily maximal) dissections of an $n$-gon then this interpretation is indeed clear.
Mar 30, 2020 at 23:16 comment added Julian Thanks! Small addition: The little-Schroeder numbers count the number of non-crossing graphs on the circle without next-neighbour edges. Since there are $n$ such next-neighbour edges it follows that the total number of graphs is $2^n$ times the little-Schroeder numbers. For more details on the generating functions the paper <mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=345872> is also a good reference.
