For my money, if you're looking for a hardy Asian jack in the pulpit that truly looks like a cobra, you can't do better than Arisaema serratum from Japan; four foot tall, and ramrod straight. It comes in a green flowered form and a dark brown flowered form. This is a special selection of the dark flowered type with coal black flower, and even the leaves look like they've been dipped in ink!
