The name players use is honitsu (混一色). This site's glossary also lists it as Half Flush. Players also call it a half flush.

One suit, plus honors

Every numbered tile shares a suit. Winds, dragons, or both make up the rest. A second suit removes the yaku. A hand with no honors is chinitsu: 6 han closed and 5 han open.

The number tiles are . The honors are a triplet of west and a pair of red dragons. The hand waits on or . Either tile keeps the one suit and the honors.

A west triplet is yakuhai when you are West or the round is West. A red-dragon triplet is in every seat. When that triplet is yakuhai, add its han. Honitsu itself is 3 han closed, or 2 han open.

Closed or open

The glossary entry is the short form: one suit plus honors, 3 han closed and 2 han open.
