We have database listings for the two plants below that may be one and the same. It appears that Monstera standleyana is being sold in some parts of the world as Philodendron 'Cobra'.

Five Holes Plant (Monstera standleyana)
Philodendron 'Cobra'

An Australian page states: "Monstera standleyana is known overseas as the cobra plant". https://homeofhouseplants.com....

This page lists it as Monstera standleyana, also known as Philodendron Cobra: https://www.thegingerjungle.co...

This page also shows both names: https://gardengoodsdirect.com/...

They might be the same, Lin, but I'm not inclined to take vendors as the final authority, and I'd hesitate to add something as an also-sold-as name when we already have an entry for that name. A plant comment in both entries might be the best solution.
