Spring secret

Do you recognize this plant?
Well I did not either; it took me about 2 or 3 months to figure out what it was. I don't think it's in the same genus as the Jack-in-the-pulpit so that didn't help with the ID. I found several Jack-in-the-pulpit 
but only two or three of
 these gentlemen.
They call it the Green Dragon.
 This one was down on the mud trail east of Mary's lake. It has a very unusual arrangement, as well as name. It is however, similar in many respects to the Jack-in-the-pulpit though less showy. You can see the stange and simple flower  rising between the plants.
Hard to read the notes on the photo but appears to have been drawn in May. 
5x9 inch format.
