E♭ Phrygian dominant
The fifth mode of harmonic minor: a flat second over a major third, so the step from the second to the third is a step and a half.
The same sounds spelled from the other side are D♯ Phrygian dominant.
Written out
Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.
