UniDisk 3.5--I don't know the name of the card they attach to, tho.

Don't count on reading them via the //e too easily, but you can use
the same disks (re-formatted for //e, of course).  Double-density is
what you want.  Personally, I've used high-density ones formatted for
double density with no problems at all, but I wouldn't advise you to
do the same, if possible.  If you want to use high-density disks to
their fullest potential, you'll need an Apple SuperDrive, instead, but
the cards that they attach to are very hard to find.
