E♭aug, E♭ augmented, is E♭, G and B: the root (E♭), the major third (G) and the augmented fifth (B). Its formula is 1 3 ♯5.
Why do E♭aug and two other augmented chords have the same notes?
An augmented chord is two major thirds stacked, E♭, G and B, and a third more brings you back to E♭. So E♭aug has the same notes as the augmented chords on G and B.
