COMMENTS
Also number of planar partitions monotonically decreasing down antidiagonals (i.e., with b(n,k) <= b(n-1,k+1)). Transpose (to get planar partitions decreasing down columns), then take the conjugate of each row. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, May 15 2006
Also number of partitions into one kind of 1's and 2's, two kinds of 3's and 4's, three kinds of 5's and 6's, etc. - Joerg Arndt, May 01 2013
Also count of semistandard Young tableaux with sum of entries equal to n (row sums of A228125). - Wouter Meeussen, Aug 11 2013

EXAMPLE
From Gus Wiseman, Jan 17 2019: (Start)
The a(6) = 21 plane partitions with strictly decreasing columns (the count is the same as for strictly decreasing rows):
6 51 42 411 33 321 3111 222 2211 21111 111111
.
5 4 41 31 32 311 22 221 2111
1 2 1 2 1 1 11 1 1
